A fire main system must have enough fire hydrants for each accessible space to be reached with _______________.

Aa water spray or solid stream
Bat least 25 psi delivered pressure
Cat least two spray patterns of water
Da low velocity spray applicator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) at least two spray patterns of water. The fire main system on a vessel must have enough fire hydrants such that each accessible space can be reached with at least two spray patterns of water. This requirement ensures adequate coverage and flexibility in fighting a fire, as the crew can direct water in different directions and patterns to effectively extinguish the blaze. The other options are incorrect because: A) a water spray or solid stream is not specific enough, C) a minimum delivered pressure is not the key requirement, and D) a low velocity spray applicator is not the standard for fire main systems.
