Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) remain in the immediate vicinity.
After abandoning ship, survival craft should remain in the immediate vicinity of the last known position. This makes it easier for SAR (Search and Rescue) aircraft and vessels to locate survivors using visual, radar, or EPIRB signals.
