70% to pass

Fire extinguishers on inspected vessels are numbered by size I through V, with I being _______________.

A the most accessible
B the smallest
C used for electrical fires only
D the most effective
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the smallest. Fire extinguishers on inspected vessels are numbered by size from I to V, with I being the smallest size and V being the largest. This is based on the requirements and regulations set by the US Coast Guard for fire safety equipment on vessels. Smaller extinguishers (Type I) are typically used for smaller, more manageable fires, while larger extinguishers (Type V) are intended for larger fires. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the numbering system for fire extinguishers on inspected vessels.
