The correct choice is the accordion load. This hose load style is characterized by the way the hose is positioned on its edge and laid side-to-side in the hose bed. The accordion load allows for quick deployment and easy handling when the hose is needed in emergency situations. By stacking the hose in this manner, it helps to minimize kinking and allows for a more compact way to store the hose, facilitating rapid access during firefighting operations.

Other options might refer to different configurations: the flat load typically lays flat in the hose bed for easy flaking out, and the donut load, often used for carrying in different types of situations, is coiled in a circular shape generally for use at greater distances. The term "according load" seems to be a typographical error, as it does not describe any recognized hose load configuration. Focusing on the correct terminology is essential for accurate communication in firefighting procedures.
