When entering the pump room of a tank vessel to rescue an unconscious person, which items of the equipment listed are you required to be using?

AProtective clothing and explosion-proof flashlight
BCombustible gas indicator and canister gas mask
CFlame safety lamp and resuscitation equipment
DSelf-contained breathing apparatus and lifelines
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Self-contained breathing apparatus and lifelines. When entering a confined space like a pump room on a tank vessel, you are required to use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and safety lifelines. This is because the pump room may contain hazardous or oxygen-deficient atmospheres that can be life-threatening. The SCBA provides a reliable source of breathable air, while the lifelines allow for safe rescue and retrieval in an emergency situation. The other answer choices, while relevant safety equipment, do not provide the necessary respiratory protection and retrieval capabilities required for this type of confined space entry.
