70% to pass

Size I and II fire extinguishers are designated as _______________.

A compact
B fixed
C portable
D semi-portable
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) portable. Size I and II fire extinguishers are designated as portable fire extinguishers. These extinguishers are designed to be easily moved and operated by a single person, making them suitable for addressing small fires. They are not fixed (permanently installed) or semi-portable (requiring assistance to move), which is why options B and D are incorrect. Portable fire extinguishers are a crucial part of the fire safety equipment required on vessels, as they allow crew members to quickly respond to and extinguish small fires before they escalate.
