What is the importance of having a watertight flashlight onboard?

To use as a primary navigation light
For interior lighting
To signal for help in emergencies
To scare away sea animals

The correct answer is: To signal for help in emergencies

Having a watertight flashlight onboard is important because it can be used to signal for help in emergencies. While options A, B, and D may seem possible, option C is the most important reason for having a watertight flashlight onboard. While interior lighting and a primary navigation light may be useful, they are not as crucial as having a reliable way to signal for help in case of an emergency. Additionally, while a flashlight may scare away some sea animals, it is not a reliable method for doing so and should not be the primary reason for having a flashlight onboard. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
