How must all PFDs be maintained on a vessel?

In good condition and readily accessible
In the original packaging
Below deck
Within the captain's reach only

The correct answer is: In good condition and readily accessible

PFDs, or personal flotation devices, are essential safety equipment on a vessel. They must be properly maintained in order to ensure their effectiveness in case of an emergency. Keeping them in good condition and readily accessible allows for quick access in case of a man overboard or other emergency situation. Keeping them in the original packaging or below deck may impede quick access and make them less effective. PFDs should also be accessible to all passengers and crew, not just the captain, in case of an emergency. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
