This suit is used where splashes may occur, but where respiratory hazards are minimal

• A. Level A
• B. Level C
• C. Level D
• D. Level B

Answer: (B)

When choosing protection, you balance skin/eye splash protection with respiratory protection. If splashes may occur and the inhalation hazard is not severe, you want clothing that protects the skin from splashes and a respirator that handles lower-level inhalation risks without the burden of a fully encapsulated system. That combination is Level C, which uses chemical-protective clothing with splash protection plus an air-purifying respirator. Level A or Level B would involve the highest level of respiratory protection (SCBA) and full encapsulation, which isn’t necessary here. Level D offers minimal protection and no respirator, which wouldn’t guard against splashes or inhalation risk. So Level C is the best fit for splash exposure with only minimal respiratory hazard.
