Diagram for question 970
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 11. The fire control plan symbol 11 designates a space or compartment protected by Halon 1301, which is a gaseous fire extinguishing agent commonly used on commercial and military vessels. Halon 1301 is an effective fire suppressant that can be quickly discharged to extinguish fires in enclosed spaces. The other answer choices are incorrect because: 10 is the symbol for a space protected by a sprinkler system, 12 is the symbol for a space protected by a carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishing system, and 44 is the symbol for an emergency fire pump.
