AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 fire pumps. According to the regulations for cargo vessels, a vessel of 2,000 gross tons (GT) or more is required to have a minimum of 2 independent fire pumps. This requirement is specified in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, which set the standards for fire safety equipment on commercial ships. The other answer choices are incorrect because 1 fire pump would not provide adequate redundancy, while 3 or 4 fire pumps would exceed the minimum requirement for a 2,000 GT cargo vessel.
