What is a common example of safety equipment to prevent propeller strikes?

Life jackets
Propeller guards
Air horns
Flares

The correct answer is: Propeller guards

A Life jackets are not used to prevent propeller strikes because they are designed to keep a person bouyant in the water. C: Air horns are used as an audible warning device, but they do not physically prevent propeller strikes. D: Flares are used for signalling and emergency communication, but they do not physically prevent propeller strikes. A common example of safety equipment to prevent propeller strikes is propeller guards. Life jackets, air horns, and flares are not appropriate safety equipment for this purpose as they serve other functions. Life jackets are designed for personal flotation in the water, whereas air horns and flares are used for signaling and emergency communication. Only propeller guards are specifically designed to physically prevent propeller strikes.
