A
no relief valves are installed
B
the other services are run off a reducing station with a pressure gage
C
one of the required pumps is kept available for use on the fire main system at all times
D
all of the above conditions are met
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) one of the required pumps is kept available for use on the fire main system at all times. This is correct because the regulations for fire pumps on commercial vessels require that at least one of the required fire pumps be dedicated solely for use on the fire main system at all times. The fire pump may be used for other services, such as deck washing or bilge pumping, only if one of the required fire pumps is kept available and ready for immediate use on the fire main. The other options (A and B) do not meet this regulatory requirement.
