AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 62. The fire control plan symbol 62 in illustration D039SA designates the secondary means of escape. When the primary means of escape is blocked by a fire, the secondary means of escape, represented by symbol 62, should be used to evacuate crewmembers from the space filling with smoke. The other options are incorrect because: B) 19 represents the primary means of escape, C) 61 represents the fire extinguisher, and D) 63 represents the fire alarm.
