The correct answer is C) sealing clamps. The reason sealing clamps are the best option for stopping puncture leaks in the lower tubes or bottom of an inflatable life raft is that they provide a quick and secure way to seal the leak without requiring any specialized repair materials. Sealing clamps are designed specifically for this purpose and can be easily and effectively applied to stop air from escaping through the puncture.
