AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to 46 CFR part 95, all of the listed fire extinguishers - 2.5 gallons of foam, 20 pounds of dry chemical, and 35 pounds of carbon dioxide - would be considered hand portable or semi-portable and capable of combating a class "B" fire. These types of fire extinguishers meet the requirements for size and extinguishing capacity specified in the regulations for use on commercial vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the types of fire extinguishers that are considered hand portable/semi-portable and suitable for class "B" fires as per the Coast Guard regulations.
