You are requisitioning stores for your tank vessel. What type of matches are permitted aboard?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Safety matches.
The regulations for tank vessels require the use of safety matches, which are the only type of matches permitted aboard. Safety matches are designed to ignite only when struck on a special striking surface, reducing the risk of accidental ignition or fire. The other options are not permitted because phosphorous matches can be too easily ignited, self-extinguishing matches are not reliable, and wooden matches pose a greater fire hazard on a tank vessel.
