Suggested Answer: A

Transferring Class I flammable liquids involves strict safety conditions to prevent fire or explosion risks. According to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code:

Inert gas (I): Pressurizing the tank with inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) is required to prevent the creation of a flammable atmosphere. Air (II) is not acceptable because it introduces oxygen, which can result in combustion.

Pressure relief device (III): A pressure relief device is mandatory to prevent over-pressurization, which could cause a tank failure or explosion.

Interlock (IV): While useful for operational safety, it is not specifically required for pressurizing tanks.


NFPA 30, Chapter 18: Requirements for transferring flammable liquids under pressure.

I vaguely recall something about interlocks being important, but I can't remember if they are mandatory for all transfers. This is tricky!

I practiced a similar question about pressure relief devices, and I think they are definitely necessary, so maybe A or C could be right.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like air shouldn't be used to pressurize flammable liquids, which makes me lean towards option A as well.

I remember that using inert gas is crucial for safety, so I think I should go with option A.
