In continuous operation, the effective range of the 15 pound CO2 extinguisher is limited to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 3 to 8 feet.
The effective range of a 15-pound CO2 extinguisher is typically 3 to 8 feet in continuous operation. This is because CO2 extinguishers use compressed carbon dioxide gas to expel the extinguishing agent, and the discharge pattern of the gas is designed to be effective within this range for optimal fire suppression. The shorter range of 2 to 4 feet (option A) is not correct, as it does not encompass the full effective range of the extinguisher. The longer ranges of 9 to 12 feet (option C) and 10 to 15 feet (option D) are also incorrect, as they exceed the typical effective range of a 15-pound CO2 extinguisher.
