A
wear as much clothing as possible
B
swim with the wind
C
enter the water feet first
D
cover eyes with one hand when entering the water
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) swim with the wind. When dealing with an oil fire, it is crucial to avoid swimming with the wind, as this will cause the fire and smoke to be blown towards you, making the situation more dangerous. Instead, you should swim against the wind to avoid the flames and smoke. The other options are not the best choices - wearing excessive clothing can make it more difficult to swim and escape the fire, entering the water feet first can be dangerous, and covering your eyes is not the primary concern in this situation.
