Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning life jackets?

Correct Answer: Option B — Life jackets are designed to turn an unconscious person's face clear of the water.

USCG-approved life jackets are engineered with specific buoyancy distribution to ensure that an unconscious person is rotated into a face-up position. This self-righting capability is a mandatory performance standard, ensuring the wearer's airway remains clear of the water even if they are incapacitated or unable to swim.
