Coast Guard Regulations
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 130°F.
Coast Guard regulations state that any space containing charged CO2 cylinders must be properly ventilated to prevent a temperature higher than 130°F. This is to prevent the pressure in the cylinders from becoming dangerously high due to the expansion of the gas as the temperature rises. The other options are incorrect because option A does not provide a specific temperature threshold, option B is incorrect as the threshold is 130°F, not 60.0°C, and option D is not a valid answer choice.
