Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: C) Throwing the center container overboard.
Inflatable life rafts that are not davit-launched are designed to be thrown over the side. Once the container is in the water, a sharp pull on the painter line triggers the gas cylinder to inflate the raft.
