If the fire is due to flammable gases, which of the following fire extinguisher is most suitable?
Answer: C
For a fire from flammable gases, dry powder is the most suitable extinguisher of the options. Dry chemical powder interrupts the chain reaction of the flames and is used for class C (gas) fires, as well as for liquid fires and, in multipurpose form, other classes.
Water and foam do not put out a gas fire, because the flames are not cooled by them and foam cannot cover a gas. Carbon dioxide can smother small fires and is mostly used on electrical equipment, but it is less effective on a gas fire that keeps burning from a leak. So the third option is the one the key gives.
