Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: at the cylinder location.
SOLAS regulations require that fixed CO2 systems with remote release mechanisms also have a provision for local release at the cylinder location. This ensures the system can still be activated manually in case of a remote control malfunction, providing a critical backup and enhancing system reliability.
