Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: retreat to fresh air and ventilate the compartment before returning.
If a CO2 system activates accidentally while you are in the space, the immediate priority is personal safety. Retreating to fresh air and ensuring the compartment is ventilated before re-entry is crucial as CO2 displaces oxygen, posing an asphyxiation risk.
