According to 46 CFR Part 76, which of the following statements is true regarding sprinkler heads which are normally activated by the melting of a fusible link?

Correct Answer: Option C — Sprinkler heads installed in the galley would have a higher melting point fusible link than those installed in the living spaces.

46 CFR Part 76 requires sprinkler heads in galleys to have higher temperature ratings than those in living spaces. This prevents nuisance activation caused by normal cooking heat, ensuring the system only triggers when a genuine fire hazard exists, while maintaining sensitivity in accommodation areas where fires must be suppressed quickly.
