According to 46 CFR part 95, which of the listed fire extinguishers would be considered hand portable/semi-portable and capable of combating a class "B" fire?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
According to 46 CFR part 95, all of the listed fire extinguishers (2.5 gallons of foam, 20 pounds of dry chemical, and 35 pounds of carbon dioxide) would be considered hand portable/semi-portable and capable of combating a class "B" fire. These types of fire extinguishers meet the requirements specified in the regulations for use on vessels.
The other options are incorrect because the regulations do not differentiate or exclude any of these extinguisher types from being considered hand portable/semi-portable and capable of Class "B" fire suppression.
