A
Class of fire that the extinguisher should be used on
B

C
Size of the applicator
D
Size of the extinguisher
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Class of fire that the extinguisher should be used on. The "B" in "B-II" refers to the classification of fire that the extinguisher is designed to be effective against. Specifically, a "B" classification means the extinguisher is suitable for use on flammable liquid fires. The "II" refers to the size or capacity of the extinguisher, with higher numbers indicating larger capacity. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the "B" designation in the fire extinguisher classification system used for uninspected vessels.
