On inspected cargo vessels, each fire station is required to be fitted with a hose which has a nominal diameter of _______________.

A 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 inches
B 2 or 3 inches
C 2-1/2 or 3-1/2 inches
D 3 or 4 inches
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 inches. According to the regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for inspected cargo vessels, each fire station must be fitted with a fire hose that has a nominal diameter of either 1-1/2 inches or 2-1/2 inches. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 95.10-10, which outlines the standards for fire hoses on these types of vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the specific diameter requirements set forth in the regulations. Options B, C, and D specify different hose diameters that are not in compliance with the Coast Guard's standards for inspected cargo vessels.
