A300 pounds
B400 pounds
C500 pounds
D600 pounds
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 300 pounds. The regulation that makes this the correct answer is from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 95.15-15, which states that the carbon dioxide cylinders of a fixed fire extinguishing system may be located inside the protected space if the quantity of CO2 required to protect that space is not more than 300 pounds. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they exceed the 300-pound limit specified in the regulation for locating the CO2 cylinders inside the protected space.
