AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) remain seated inside to provide body weight for stability. When a helicopter is lifting personnel from an enclosed lifeboat, the individuals remaining in the boat should stay seated inside to provide additional weight and stability to the boat. This helps prevent the boat from becoming unbalanced or tipping over during the transfer. The other answer choices are incorrect because entering the water could be dangerous, standing on the outside could destabilize the boat, and removing life jackets would be unsafe.
