Diesel fire-pump fuel supply must be sufficient for the required emergency operating duration and is sized with regard to available fire-water duration and the driver fuel requirement/rating. Since all the listed considerations are relevant, option D, “all of the above,” is correct.

Fire-pump fuel sizing is a duration-and-driver-rating problem, not a single-number rule.
Do not size fuel only from engine rating while ignoring required emergency duration.
