Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguishers

Routine inspection of carbon dioxide extinguishers strictly requires weighing the cylinders to verify the agent charge. Foam, water, and dry chemical extinguishers rely primarily on pressure gauges, visual inspections, or internal powder condition checks rather than total weight.
