This is another confusing question due to two feasible answers.
“The primary fire protection systems used within data centers typically include: wet pipe sprinklers, pre-action sprinklers, and special suppression (i.e., clean agent, inert gas, or mist). … Two water-based fire suppression methods are typically preferred for data centers: single and double interlock systems.”
If it were MY data center, I would absolutely want inert gas instead of water that would damage my electronics.
The correct answer is A. Dry-pipe and Wet-pipe sprinklers are water-based and you definitely do not want to install them in a data center for obvious reasons. Halon gas was banned in the U.S. so that leaves inert gas fire suppression system.
