Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: 2.
According to SOLAS regulations and the FSS Code, in a fixed CO2 system where pilot cylinders release CO2 from the main bank, there must be at least two pilot cylinders. This redundancy ensures system reliability, so a single pilot cylinder failure does not render the entire system inoperable.
