Question 3697 Deck General

70% to pass

On offshore drilling units each fire station is identified by letters and numbers at least _______________.

A 2 inches high
B 3 inches high
C 5 inches high
D 8 inches high
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2 inches high. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the United States Coast Guard, specifically 46 CFR 109.559, it states that "The identifying letters and numbers must be at least 2 inches high." This regulation applies to the identification of fire stations on offshore drilling units, which aligns with the question provided. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement of 2 inches as specified in the CFR. Choosing a height that is greater than 2 inches would not be the correct answer based on the applicable regulation.
