The correct answer is C. The door must be kept locked. According to 46 CFR Part 95, the regulations state that the door to the carbon dioxide cylinder room for a CO2 fixed fire extinguishing system must be kept locked to prevent unauthorized entry. This is to ensure the safety of the system and prevent accidental discharge of the CO2. The other statements are true - the compartment must be clearly marked, properly ventilated, and the ambient temperature must not exceed 130 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain the proper functioning of the system.
