Which factual statement matches the scenario where the door is disarmed?

• A. The slide inflates
• B. The slide does not inflate
• C. The slide inflates if commanded manually
• D. The slide inflates spontaneously

Answer: (B)

Arming a door is what links opening the door to the slide deploying. When a door is disarmed, that automatic mechanism is disabled, so simply opening the door doesn’t trigger the slide. In this scenario, the slide stays packed and does not inflate. The other possibilities describe outcomes that would occur only if the door were armed or if a separate manual or faulty condition occurred, not when the door is disarmed. So the statement that matches a disarmed door is that the slide does not inflate.
