Which of the following is known to be designed to be used by a single person?
- A.
Vehicle weapons
- B.
Fortification weapons
- C.
Personal weapons
- D.

Similarly, fortification weapons are designed to defend fortifications and require a team to operate them. Light weapons, on the other hand, refer to a specific category of firearms that are portable and can be operated by a single person, making them suitable for individual use. Therefore, personal weapons are the correct answer as they are specifically designed for use by one person.Rate this question:
