(b) 1,000

I have been asked this question in a job interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Aircraft Systems and Aviation topic in division Aircraft Systems and Aviation Overview of Aircraft Maintenance

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) 8,000

For explanation I would say: In case of failure of cabin pressurization at altitudes above 10,000 feet, the aircraft makes an emergency descent to 8,000 feet. If the aircraft does not descent to the required altitude in minimal time, it can cause a fatal situation for all passengers onboard.
