Analyze the boating safety question

The question asks when a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) must be worn while a boat is underway.

Evaluate the safety regulations

Boating safety guidelines strongly recommend wearing a PFD at all times when a vessel is underway. Accidents can happen instantly without warning, making it difficult to locate and put on a life jacket during an emergency.

Compare the given options

• Option A suggests wearing it only in rough conditions, which is unsafe.
• Option B suggests wearing it only if unable to swim, but even strong swimmers need PFDs in sudden accidents.
• Option C states "At all times," which aligns with the best safety practices.
• Option D suggests wearing it only when exceeding 10 MPH, which ignores low-speed hazards.
