A
After each use
B
When the air temperature exceeds 90°F
C

D
Every 12 months
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) After each use. Dry chemical fire extinguishers must be recharged after each use, as per the requirements set by the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Once the extinguisher has been discharged, even partially, it needs to be recharged by a qualified service technician to ensure it is ready for the next emergency. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the recharging requirement for these types of fire extinguishers.
