Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — Swim out from under the raft in a face up position to keep your life preservers clear of the raft.
When righting an overturned liferaft, personnel must swim out face-up to prevent life preserver straps or gear from snagging underneath the canopy. Following SOLAS survival techniques ensures mariners avoid entanglement hazards while utilizing body weight and the righting strap.
