Which protective gear is specifically listed as a safety measure for water-related activities?

• A. Helmets
• B. Mouth guards
• C. Personal flotation devices
• D. Start learning to swim

Answer: (C)

Protective gear for water-related activities focuses on keeping you afloat and preventing drowning. The item designed for that purpose is the personal flotation device. A PFD provides buoyancy to help keep the wearer’s head above water and can keep someone safe even if tired or momentarily unable to swim, making it a primary safety measure in many aquatic settings. Helmets protect the head in some water sports but aren’t the standard safety device for general water activity. A mouth guard guards teeth in contact sports, not water safety. Starting to learn to swim is a skill-building step, not protective equipment. So the personal flotation device is the gear specifically listed for water safety.
