A vessel on an international voyage carries a rigid liferaft with a SOLAS A equipment pack. According to 46 CFR §199.175 Table 1, how many rocket parachute flares must the liferaft carry?

Why C is correct

Table 1 to 46 CFR §199.175 specifies that a rigid liferaft with a SOLAS A pack on an international voyage must carry 4 rocket parachute flares (item 32). Six hand flares are also required, which is a common distractor, but the parachute flare count is 4.
