70% to pass

At a refueling area or fuel facility, smoking or any flame or spark is prohibited _______________.

A within 50 feet
B during refueling operations
C anywhere on the helodeck
D within 100 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) within 50 feet. The Coast Guard regulations prohibit smoking or any flame or spark within 50 feet of a refueling area or fuel facility. This is a safety measure to prevent the risk of fire or explosion during refueling operations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either specify a different distance (100 feet) or refer to a different location (helodeck), which are not the specific regulation for refueling areas.
