Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: C) secured to a permanent object on deck via a weak link.
The sea painter must be secured to a permanent, strong structural member of the ship using a weak link. This ensures that the painter remains attached long enough to trigger the inflation system but will break away once the life raft is fully inflated and the ship sinks.
