What is required for a buoyant heaving line to be approved?

Able to demonstrate the ability to float
Must be a specific color
Requires periodic testing
Must be synthetic material only

The correct answer is: Able to demonstrate the ability to float

A buoyant heaving line that is considered approved must be able to demonstrate its ability to float. This demonstrates that the line is capable of being used in water and will not sink to the bottom. Option B, C, and D may seem like plausible requirements for an approved line, but they are not essential. The line can be any color as long as it can float and still be considered approved. Similarly, while periodic testing is important for maintaining the quality and safety of the line, it is not a necessary requirement for it to be approved. Lastly, while synthetic materials may provide certain advantages, such as being more durable and resistant to weather and water damage, they are not the only kind of material that can be used for a buoyant heaving line to be approved. Therefore, the only true and necessary requirement for a buoyant heaving line to be approved is its ability to float
