Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Lifejackets are designed to turn an unconscious person's face clear of the water.
SOLAS and 46 CFR requirements mandate that approved lifejackets possess sufficient inherent buoyancy and weight distribution design to automatically rotate an exhausted or unconscious person from a face-down position to a safe, vertical or backward-leaning tilt in the water.
