Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Falls wires are clear and secured tightly.
Before lifting a lifeboat, it is critical to ensure that the falls wires are properly seated in the blocks and secured to the boat's releasing gear. This prevents the boat from tilting or dropping during the hoist, ensuring a stable and safe recovery process.
