A None are required.
B Two B-I extinguishers are required.
C One B-II extinguisher is required.
D One B-I extinguisher is required.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) One B-I extinguisher is required at the operating station of a small passenger vessel. This is based on the regulations for small passenger vessels, which state that one B-I type portable fire extinguisher is required at the operating station. The B-I rating indicates the fire extinguishing capability of the unit. The other answer choices are incorrect - option A is wrong because some fire extinguishers are required, and options B and C specify the wrong number and type of extinguishers needed.
