    • Pre- Action System

    Correct Answer
    A. Pre- Action System
    Explanation
    A pre-action system is a supplemental detection system that is installed in the same area as the sprinklers. It is designed to provide an additional level of protection in areas where water damage needs to be minimized, such as data centers or museums. The system requires two separate events to occur before water is released: the activation of the fire detection system and the operation of a sprinkler head. This ensures that the system is only activated when there is a confirmed fire, reducing the risk of accidental water damage.
