You have abandoned ship and are in charge of a liferaft or survival craft. How much water per day should you permit each person to have after the first 24 hours?

Correct Answer: Option C — 1 pint

After the initial 24-hour withholding period, SOLAS and USCG survival rations allocate precisely one pint of drinking water per person daily to sustain basic metabolic functions and prevent severe dehydration without depleting limited emergency supplies.
