The correct answer is A) The seal should not be broken

Explanation:

The seal of the fire extinguisher is a proof that the fire extinguisher has not been tampered with or used since the last inspection or service before. Also, it keeps the safety pin from getting loose or accidentally falling out. In the absence of that safety pin, the extinguisher could possibly be discharged or triggered. The seal also contain a date indicating the last time it was inspected.
