While fighting a fire, in order to utilize two hoses from a single 'wye' gate attached to a hydrant outlet, you need only turn the valve handle __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — on each leg of the "Y" 90°

A wye gate is a manifold used to split a single fire hose line into two. Each leg of the wye is equipped with an individual shut-off valve. Rotating these handles 90 degrees from the closed position aligns the valve port with the flow path, allowing water to pass through.
