Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) drag the raft ashore and lash it down for shelter.
Once ashore, the primary survival goal is to secure the raft to protect it from being blown away or damaged by the tide. This provides a stable shelter from the elements while awaiting rescue.
