Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — "Danger"

LSA Code, Chapter IV, Section 4.4.7.6 requires the release lever to be painted red and clearly marked with a placard stating 'Danger' to prevent accidental activation. This standardized visual warning ensures crew members immediately recognize the control mechanism for the lifeboat's on-load release system during emergency operations.
