Correct Answer: Only I


Solution : The correct option is Only I .

Fire extinguishers use Carbon dioxide for fire suppression. They release Carbon Dioxide(CO 2 ), a non-flammable gas that displaces oxygen, effectively smothering the flames. This method is suitable for tackling Class B fires involving flammable liquids and gases, as well as Class C fires that involve electrical equipment.
