Which option reflects the given rule about door status and slide inflation?

• A. The door disarmed causes slide inflation
• B. The door disarmed ensures slide does not inflate
• C. The door disarmed has no effect on the slide
• D. The slide inflates during maintenance checks

Answer: (B)

When the doors are not armed, the emergency slide is protected from deployment. The rule being tested relies on this safety control: a disarmed door will not cause the slide to inflate when opened. So the statement that a disarmed door ensures the slide does not inflate matches how the system is designed to prevent accidental deployment during normal boarding and disembarkation. The other options conflict with this control. Saying a disarmed door causes inflation would mean the slide could deploy in everyday use, which is unsafe. Saying a disarmed door has no effect ignores the explicit safety mechanism that prevents inflation when not armed. Saying the slide inflates during maintenance checks describes a scenario that isn’t the standard rule about disarmed doors and automatic deployment.
