  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 5

Answer: C — 4

The M1120, which is a variant of the HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck), is equipped with a total of four 12-volt direct current (VDC) storage batteries. This configuration is designed to provide the necessary power for the vehicle's electrical systems, ensuring reliable operation under various conditions. Having four batteries allows for increased capacity and redundancy, which is particularly important for military applications where performance and reliability are critical. This setup helps in supplying enough power not only for starting the engine but also for running onboard systems, such as communications equipment and environmental controls, especially when the vehicle is not running. The choice of four batteries demonstrates a balance between weight considerations and the need for sufficient power output.
