A
23
B
16
C
12
D
7
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 23. The symbol 23 on the Fire Control Plan represents a water hydrant, which is the best means to extinguish a Class A (ordinary combustible) fire. Water is the most effective extinguishing agent for Class A fires, as it cools the burning material and prevents re-ignition. The other options are incorrect because: 16 represents a portable fire extinguisher, 12 represents a fixed CO2 system, and 7 represents a fixed foam system, which are not the most suitable for Class A fires compared to a water hydrant.
