Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: As a general rule, don't jump into the sea.
Jumping into the sea poses risks of injury, hypothermia, and separation. The general rule is to enter the water carefully and only when necessary, as abandoning the vessel via controlled launching is always preferred.
