Passenger ships require that there is ___ seat(s) on a lifeboat for each passenger.

The rule is about ensuring every passenger has a place to sit during evacuation. Lifeboats are sized so there is exactly one seat for each person on board, which makes it possible to evacuate everyone efficiently and safely without leaving anyone unseated or wasting space. Having zero seats would mean no one could sit, which is unsafe; having more seats than passengers would imply extra capacity that isn’t required for the standard safety plan. So the correct idea is one seat per passenger.
