70% to pass

Each hand portable fire extinguisher must be marked with _______________.

A the names of the individuals qualified to use it
B the name of the vessel on which it is located
C an identification number
D the date that it was installed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) an identification number. Each hand portable fire extinguisher must be marked with an identification number in accordance with the regulations governing fire extinguishers on commercial vessels. This unique identifying number allows the extinguisher to be tracked and inspected regularly to ensure it is in proper working condition. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the standard marking requirements for hand portable fire extinguishers. The names of qualified users, the vessel name, and the installation date are not the required markings per the applicable regulations.
