What does PFD stand for?

Personal flotation device
Public fishing dock
Portable fire device
Pressure feedback diode

The correct answer is: Personal flotation device

A PFD stands for Personal Flotation Device, and is also commonly referred to as a life jacket. This option is correct because a Personal Flotation Device's primary purpose is to provide buoyancy and help someone stay afloat in water in case of an emergency. The other options, while they may contain some of the same words, do not accurately describe what a PFD actually is. A public fishing dock is not related to water safety or flotation. A portable fire device is typically used to put out fires, not to assist in staying above water. A pressure feedback diode is a type of electronic component and has no relation to water safety.
