Correct Answer: Option D — 10% of the total number of persons carried

46 CFR Subchapter T regulations mandate that small passenger vessels carry a sufficient number of child-sized life jackets. Specifically, the vessel must provide approved life jackets for children equal to at least 10% of the total number of persons carried, unless the Certificate of Inspection is endorsed for adults only.
