Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: Life rafts intended for throw-overboard launching shall be stored amidships secured to means for transfer to either side.
Life rafts intended for throw-overboard launching do not need to be stored amidships; they are typically stored near the ship's side to facilitate a quick, direct drop into the water.
