A
2
B
1
C
4
D
6
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 6 fire axes. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 78.47-20, a passenger vessel of 600 gross tons (GT) is required to have at least 6 fire axes. This regulation is in place to ensure adequate firefighting equipment is available on larger passenger vessels in the event of an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because 2 fire axes (option A) or 1 fire axe (option B) would not meet the regulatory requirement, while 4 fire axes (option C) would be less than the mandated 6 fire axes for a 600 GT passenger vessel.
