AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The suits provide for limited body movement such as walking, climbing a ladder, and picking up small objects like a pencil. This is correct because immersion suits are designed to provide thermal protection, but they do not completely restrict the wearer's mobility. While the suit seals in some body heat, it is not meant to provide full hypothermia protection for weeks. Additionally, the suits are not flameproof and would not protect the wearer in burning oil. The key feature of immersion suits is that they allow for a degree of limited movement, which is why option D is the correct answer.
