AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 50 lbs. The empty weight of a B-III semi-portable CO2 fire extinguisher is 50 lbs, not 35 lbs. This is based on the standard specifications for B-III type CO2 fire extinguishers as defined by the US Coast Guard regulations. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 35 lbs is the incorrect empty weight. B) 21.3 kg is the incorrect weight in metric units. D) 50 lbs is the correct answer, not C.
