Cbe put up only in severe weather
Dbe used as a sail if the wind is blowing
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the canopy of your life raft should go into place as the raft is inflated. This is the correct answer because the canopy is an essential safety feature of a life raft that is designed to deploy automatically as the raft inflates. The canopy provides shelter and protection from the elements for the occupants of the raft. It is not meant to be deployed after everyone is already aboard, only in severe weather, or used as a sail, as those options would not provide the intended safety benefits. The proper deployment of the canopy as the raft inflates is a crucial requirement for life rafts, as specified in Coast Guard regulations and standards for this critical safety equipment.
