Question 700 Deck General

The correct answer is D. The reasoning behind this is that flammable liquids, such as portable containers of fuel for auxiliary equipment, must be stowed in a designated safe location to minimize the risk of fire hazards. Specifically, they should be kept in a paint locker or at an open location designated for this purpose, rather than in the general ship's storeroom. The other options are incorrect because: A) Underwriter's Laboratories does not certify stores for use on uninspected vessels; B) Acetylene is limited to 1000 cubic feet per the regulations; and C) while fire retardant treatment is required for certain stores, this is not a universal requirement.
