Which organizations are known for developing standards in fire protection and safety?

The correct answer highlights organizations that are widely recognized for their role in developing standards pertaining to fire protection and safety. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is particularly noted for its establishment of codes and standards aimed at reducing the risk of fire and enhancing public safety. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) contributes by developing voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems, and services used in construction and fire protection. The National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) represents fire marshals across the U.S. and focuses on improving fire safety legislation and practices.

While the other organizations listed in different groups also have relevant contributions, they either do not primarily focus on fire safety or are less recognized in the context of fire protection standards compared to the ones in option B. Therefore, this choice accurately represents those most impactful in the field of fire safety standards development.
