A garment designed to cover the wearer completely with an SCBA on the inside and provides minimum splash protection corresponds to which protective level?

Explanation:
The main idea is matching the described ensemble to how PPE levels define protection. A suit that covers the wearer completely, with an SCBA inside, and provides only minimum splash protection gives you full body coverage and robust respiratory protection, but not vapor-tight protection. That combination fits Level B Type 1: complete coverage with an SCBA inside and only splash protection from the garment itself. Level A would be vapor-tight and fully encapsulating with higher protection, Level C uses an air-purifying respirator and offers less skin protection, and Level D is basic clothing with no respiratory protection. So the described setup aligns with Level B Type 1.
