ICC practice test question:

A 1,189VA, 120-volt basement sump pump is fed from a duplex receptacle installed in the unfinished basement rafters and fed from a dedicated circuit. The minimum requirement is:

a) one 20amp circuit
b) one 15 amp dedicated ciruit
c) one 20 amp dedicated circuit
d) one 20 amp dedicated ciruit GFCI protected.

ICC answer is "d".....

I say the answer is "b" because of 1189va/120=9.8 amps, round up to 15 amps as well as E3802.5 exception not requiring GFCI protection....

Thoughts?
