• B. He, Frag, Move
• C. He, Frag, Move, Fire
• D. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Jet

Answer: (A)

When handling a hand grenade that includes illumination and the striker release, you must account for multiple hazard channels at once: the high-explosive payload, the risk of fragmentation, the dangers from movement or jostling of the device, and the ignition/fuse risk from the striker mechanism, plus any device-specific pyrotechnic hazards. The option that includes all these factors—high explosive, fragmentation, movement, ignition/fire, the extra C/S hazard, and a 1-hour wait time—best represents a complete safety posture because it does not omit any major risk or procedural safeguard. The other choices leave out one or more essential hazards, which would fail to address the full risk profile of this device.
