Under 46 CFR §199.280, all survival craft required for abandonment by the total number of persons on board a cargo vessel must be capable of being launched with their full complement of persons and equipment within what time period from the abandon-ship signal?

Why B is correct

46 CFR §199.280(d) requires all survival craft required for abandonment to be capable of being launched with their full complement within 10 minutes from the abandon-ship signal. Note that §199.245(b) sets a 30-minute standard for passenger vessels under Subchapter W; the 10-minute requirement under §199.280 applies to cargo vessels.
