Question 1093Deck General70% to pass
A B-II fire extinguisher has a minimum capacity of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 10 pounds of dry chemical.
The reason is that according to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a B-II fire extinguisher is required to have a minimum capacity of 10 pounds of dry chemical. This is the standard requirement for a B-II classification fire extinguisher, which is commonly used on boats and ships.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific requirement for a B-II fire extinguisher. Option A (20 pounds of CO2) and Option B (3 gallons of foam) refer to different classifications of fire extinguishers, not the B-II type.
