A 19
B 21
C 22
D 54
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 19, which represents an emergency fire pump. The illustration D039SA is a standard fire control plan symbol legend, which is used to identify the various fire safety equipment and systems depicted on the plan. According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, the symbol for an emergency fire pump is the number 19. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) 21 represents a fire hose station, C) 22 represents a fire extinguisher, and D) 54 represents a sprinkler system. None of these symbols specifically denote an emergency fire pump, which is the equipment required to provide backup water pressure and flow in the event of a fire.
