Answer
A
Engine Type 1
B
Engine Type 3
C
Engine Type 4
D
Engine Type 2

Explanation

An off-road state park location favors an engine with four-wheel drive. Engines 3 and 4 have four-wheel drive, but Engine Type 3 carries more water (300 gallons versus 200) and has a longer hose (1,800 feet versus 1,400). Those features make Engine Type 3 more likely to be called first.
