Which system includes exit signs and fire escapes?

• A. Fire suppression system
• B. Emergency lighting
• C. Evacuation system
• D. Public address system

Answer: (C)

Exit signs and fire escapes are elements of the evacuation system, which is all about moving occupants to safety during an emergency. Exit signs clearly mark the way to exits, and fire escapes provide an alternate route to safety if primary stairs are unavailable. While emergency lighting supports visibility along paths and fire suppression focuses on stopping the fire, those are separate systems and don’t define the routes and signage that guide people to safety. The public address system can relay instructions, but it doesn’t inherently include the physical exits or the means to reach them. So the evacuation system is the one that includes both exit signs and fire escapes.
