Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide


Solution : The correct option is Carbon dioxide .

For fire suppression, fire extinguishers release CO 2 gas. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers emit CO 2 , a non-flammable gas that displaces oxygen to reduce the flames, as fire needs O 2 to keep burning. CO 2 can be used to extinguish Class B (flammable liquids and gases) and Class C (electrical) fires. Portable fire extinguishers are meant to manage or extinguish minor flames in emergency circumstances.
