Correct Answer: Option D — under no circumstances
Title 46 CFR regulations strictly prohibit substituting Coast Guard-approved work vests for required life jackets under any circumstances. Work vests do not meet the buoyancy, turning, or thermal protection standards mandated for primary lifesaving PFDs.
