A 14 psia or more
B more than 8 1/2 psia but less than 14 psia
C 5 to 8 1/2 psia
D None of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 14 psia or more. According to the regulations for the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a Grade A flammable liquid is defined as having a Reid vapor pressure of 14 psia or more. This means that the liquid has a high volatility and can easily release flammable vapors, posing a significant fire hazard. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the criteria for a Grade A flammable liquid.
