A 500 S.H.P. of the main engines or fraction thereof
B 1000 S.H.P. of the main engines or fraction thereof
C 500 B.H.P. of the main engines or fraction thereof
D 1000 B.H.P. of the main engines or fraction thereof
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1000 B.H.P. of the main engines or fraction thereof. The reasoning is based on the regulations for fire extinguishing equipment on uninspected motor vessels. According to the Coast Guard regulations, in the machinery space of all uninspected motor vessels, there must be one type B-II hand portable fire extinguisher for every 1000 B.H.P. (Brake Horsepower) of the main engines or fraction thereof. This requirement ensures that there is adequate fire extinguishing capability in the machinery space, proportional to the power of the engines. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement of 1000 B.H.P. per type B-II fire extinguisher.
