Correct Answer
A. Regulations at the time did not require a ship to carry enough lifeboats for everyone on board.Explanation
At the time of the Titanic's construction and maiden voyage, maritime safety regulations were outdated relative to the size and passenger capacity of new ocean liners like the Titanic. The regulations did not require ships to carry enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew, resulting in the Titanic having lifeboats with a capacity for only about half of those on board. This shortfall contributed significantly to the high casualty rate when the ship sank after hitting an iceberg.Rate this question:
