Which of the lifeboat parts listed must be painted bright red?

AHatches
BReleasing gear lever
CBoat hooks
DCompass
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Releasing gear lever. The reason this is the correct answer is that Coast Guard regulations require the releasing gear lever on lifeboats to be painted bright red. This is done to make it clearly visible and easily identifiable in an emergency situation, so the lifeboat can be quickly and safely launched. The other options (hatches, boat hooks, and compass) do not have this same requirement for red coloring under Coast Guard regulations for lifeboat equipment and markings.
