A50% of the total fuel stored
BEqual to the tank capacity
C75% of the largest tank capacity
D110% of the largest tank capacity

✓ Correct answer: D. 110% of the largest tank capacity Environmental regulations require bunds to have a capacity of at least 110% of the largest tank, or 25% of total capacity for multiple tanks, whichever is greater. This ensures adequate containment in case of tank failure or overfilling.
