Acapped on the ends for protection
Bsupplied with a smooth bore nozzle
Cconnected to the fire hydrant
Dopen to the air to prevent rot
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) connected to the fire hydrant. Fire hoses located at protected fire stations must be connected to the fire hydrant in order to be ready for immediate use in the event of a fire. This ensures the hoses are properly pressurized and can be quickly deployed when needed. The other answer choices are incorrect - the hoses should not be capped, equipped with a smooth bore nozzle, or left open to the air, as these would prevent the hoses from being instantly usable for firefighting.
