Areduce the drift rate of the life raft
Bkeep the life raft from turning over
Caid in recovering the life raft
Dincrease your visibility
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) reduce the drift rate of the life raft. Using a sea anchor when in a life raft helps to reduce the drift rate of the raft by creating drag and slowing its movement through the water. This is an important function of a sea anchor, as it helps to conserve the raft's limited supplies and resources by keeping it in one general area. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) a sea anchor does not specifically keep the life raft from turning over, C) it does not directly aid in recovering the raft, and D) while a sea anchor may increase visibility to rescuers, that is not its primary purpose.
