What minimum portable fire extinguisher rating is required at specific locations on boats 24m or longer?

10BC
5ABC
2A
20BC

The correct answer is: 10BC

The minimum portable fire extinguisher rating required at specific locations on boats 24m or longer is 10BC. This option is correct because it ensures that the fire extinguisher has the appropriate level of fire suppression capabilities for a larger and potentially more dangerous boat. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum requirement for fire extinguisher rating. Option B may have a higher overall rating, but it does not meet the minimum requirement of 10BC. Option C has a lower rating in terms of fire suppression capabilities and may not be as effective at putting out a fire on a larger boat. Option D has a higher BC rating, but it also does not meet the minimum requirement of 10BC. It is important to have the appropriate fire extinguisher rating for the size and potential hazards of a boat to ensure the safety of those on board.
