You are tending the lifeline of a man who entered a compartment using a breathing apparatus. How many tugs on the lifeline indicate the man should back out?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3 tugs on the lifeline.
This is the standard signaling procedure for a person using a breathing apparatus in a confined space or hazardous atmosphere. Three tugs on the lifeline indicate to the person inside that they should immediately exit the compartment and return to the safe area. This allows the person tending the lifeline to signal the person inside to evacuate if they detect any issues or signs of distress.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the established protocol for this type of situation. One or two tugs would not be the recognized signal to exit, and four tugs would be an unusual and potentially confusing command.
