Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) 2 degrees, 4 hours.
The LSA Code defines the performance of a Thermal Protective Aid (TPA) or immersion suit by its ability to prevent heat loss. It must be capable of ensuring that a person's body temperature does not drop by more than 2 degrees Celsius after 4 hours of immersion in near-freezing water.
