70% to passProvided every effort is used to preserve body moisture content by avoiding perspiration, how long is it normally possible to survive in a survival craft without stored quantities of water?
AUp to 3 days
BUp to 14 days
CUp to 25 days
DUp to 35 days
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Up to 14 days. The reasoning behind this is that without stored quantities of water, the body can typically survive for up to 14 days in a survival craft, provided every effort is made to preserve body moisture content and avoid excessive perspiration. This is based on general survival guidelines and regulations for maritime safety. The other options are incorrect because 3 days is too short, 25 days is too long, and 35 days is unrealistic for survival without any stored water.
