What is the minimum number of B-II hand portable fire extinguishers required on board a 105 GT uninspected towboat with a 7500 B.H.P. plant (including the machinery space)?

A 6
B 8
C 9
D 11
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 9 B-II hand portable fire extinguishers. This is based on the requirements outlined in 46 CFR 25.30-10, which specifies the minimum number of hand portable fire extinguishers required on uninspected vessels. For a 105 GT uninspected towboat with a 7500 B.H.P. plant, the regulation calls for 9 B-II hand portable fire extinguishers, including one in the machinery space. The other options are incorrect because 6 extinguishers (A) would be insufficient, 8 extinguishers (B) would be less than the required 9, and 11 extinguishers (D) would exceed the minimum requirement.
