If a compartment is intact and not completely flooded, this condition is called?

• A. Partial flooding
• B. Full flooding
• C. No flooding
• D. Deck flooding

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is describing the level of water inside a compartment. If water has entered a space but hasn’t filled it completely, that space is partially flooded: water is present, air remains, and the compartment isn’t fully submerged. This is why “partial flooding” is the best description for an intact compartment that isn’t completely flooded. In contrast, no flooding means no water is present; full flooding means the space is completely inundated; deck flooding refers to water on the deck rather than inside the space.
