Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — the number of persons on board at the time
46 CFR 117.71 requires that the number of approved adult life jackets carried must at least equal the total number of persons on board at the time. This ensures that every passenger and crew member has immediate access to a personal flotation device during an emergency situation.
