In accordance with U.S. regulations for cargo vessels, what is the maximum number of sleeping accommodations a barge may have before it is required to have fire pumps, hydrants, hose, and nozzles installed?

A 5

B 8

C 12

D 15

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 12. According to U.S. regulations, cargo vessels such as barges are required to have fire pumps, hydrants, hose, and nozzles installed if they have more than 12 sleeping accommodations. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Subchapter I-A, which covers fire protection equipment on cargo and miscellaneous vessels. The other options are incorrect because barges with 5, 8, or 15 sleeping accommodations would not meet the threshold of 12 that triggers the fire protection equipment requirement.
