70% to passWhich statement about stowing spare hose is TRUE?
A
Roll the hose starting at the female end.
B
Fold the hose into lengths about 6 feet long and then lash the folds together.
C
Roll the hose starting at the male end.
D
Fold the hose so that the male coupling is about 4 feet from the female coupling, then roll it up.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Fold the hose so that the male coupling is about 4 feet from the female coupling, then roll it up. This is the correct answer because it aligns with standard hose stowage practices. Folding the hose with the male coupling 4 feet from the female coupling allows the hose to be easily unrolled and deployed quickly when needed. Rolling the hose starting from the male end, as stated in option C, would make it more difficult to quickly unravel the hose. Options A and B, which involve rolling or folding the hose in a different manner, are not the recommended technique for proper hose stowage.
