A
8
B
4
C
2
D
6
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 6 fire axes. According to the regulations for cargo vessels navigating the Great Lakes, vessels of 700 GT (Gross Tonnage) or more are required to carry a minimum of 6 fire axes. This is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 171.122, which outlines the required firefighting equipment for vessels in this tonnage range. The other options are incorrect because 8 fire axes (A) would exceed the regulatory requirement, 4 fire axes (B) would be insufficient, and 2 fire axes (C) would also be below the required minimum.
