If multiple alarms are received what designates the current selected alarm?

• A. The Oldest Alarm
• B. The Alarm with the Highest Priority
• C. The Most Recent Alarm
• D. The Alarm from the Most Sensors

Answer: (B)

When multiple alarms arrive, the system uses urgency to decide which one to focus on. The alarm with the highest priority is designated as the current selected alarm because priority levels convey how critical or time-sensitive a condition is. This ensures the most important issue gets attention first, regardless of when it occurred or how many sensors are involved. Oldest or most recent timing doesn’t automatically reflect danger, and an alarm from many sensors isn’t inherently more critical than a single, more severe alert. If several alarms share the same top priority, other tie-breaking rules may apply, but the key idea is to surface the most urgent condition first.
