Amale and female ends connected together to prevent damage
Bfemale end available to be quickly connected to the hydrant
Cmale end attached to the adjacent fire hydrant
Dnozzle end arranged to be easily run out to the fire
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the nozzle end arranged to be easily run out to the fire. The reasoning behind this is that fire hoses should be stowed in a way that allows them to be quickly and easily deployed to the fire location. Having the nozzle end accessible and arranged to be run out simplifies and speeds up the process of getting water on the fire. The other answer choices, while potentially valid in other contexts, do not directly address the need for rapid fire attack deployment, which is the primary purpose of properly stowed fire hoses.
