Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) The nozzle end to be run out to the fire.
Fire hoses are stowed at the hydrant so they can be run out rapidly toward the scene of a fire without kinks. This ensures that the crew can deploy the firefighting line immediately without losing time untangling or connecting sections.
