Why might a passenger yacht be required to carry life jackets specifically sized/suitable for children, if guests with children are expected, rather than relying solely on adult-sized equipment?

A. Child-specific life jackets are a courtesy item with no functional safety basis

B. An adult life jacket does not fit or function correctly on a child — it can ride up over the face or fail to keep the child's head clear of the water, so age/size-appropriate life-saving appliances must be provided for any children expected aboard

C. This consideration is only relevant for vessels operating exclusively in tropical waters

D. Adult life jackets are universally adjustable and function identically regardless of the wearer's size

A. A safety briefing is only required if a passenger specifically requests one

B. No safety briefing is required if the charter is less than 24 hours in duration

C. A muster/safety briefing covering emergency signals, muster stations, life jacket location and use, and basic emergency procedures, given before or shortly after departure — not assumed to be unnecessary because guests are "experienced" or have sailed before

D. Safety briefings are only mandatory for first-time charter guests, not repeat clients

A. Passengers are excluded entirely from any emergency procedure and are expected to remain in their cabins regardless of the emergency type

B. Passengers are not trained crew and cannot be relied upon to perform emergency duties — the Code's provisions (briefing content, muster procedures, crew-to-passenger ratios for assistance) are built around crew actively managing and guiding passengers through an emergency, not passengers being expected to self-manage

C. Passengers are expected to perform identical emergency duties to trained crew once briefed

D. There is no meaningful distinction between passenger and crew responsibilities under the Code
