Which edition was updated to comply with the 2000 Manual of Style?

• A. 2002 Edition
• B. Minimum Design Discharge Density
• C. Clarifications
• D. Underground Pipe Materials

Answer: (A)

When a Manual of Style is updated, NFPA editions released after typically incorporate those style changes. The edition published after the 2000 Manual of Style would be the one updated to reflect those formatting and editorial updates. In this case, the edition that followed is the 2002 edition, which would include the necessary compliance with the 2000 Manual of Style. The other options aren’t editions themselves—one refers to a design parameter (Minimum Design Discharge Density), another to a set of clarifications, and another to a topic (Underground Pipe Materials)—so they don’t answer the question about which edition was updated.
