• A. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem, C/S, 1hrwt
• B. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem
• C. He, Frag, Move
• D. He, Frag, Move, Eject, Fire, 1hrwt

Answer: (A)

Safety for a rifle grenade with a striker release requires recognizing every hazard the munition can pose and applying the full set of precautions before any handling, movement, or firing. The best option explicitly identifies all the major hazards and corresponding safety controls: high-explosive payload, fragmentation risk, chemical or riot-control agent hazards, and the need to limit movement or firing until the device is confirmed safe, plus a time-based precaution (the 1-hour wait) to ensure the device is in a safe state. This comprehensive labeling ensures protection against accidental detonation, shrapnel injury, chemical exposure, or unintended activation in handling or transport.

Other options leave out one or more hazards or safety steps, creating gaps in protection. By including all the hazard domains and the waiting precaution, the chosen safety set provides the most robust safety coverage for this type of munition.
