70% to pass

A galley grease fire on the stove may be extinguished using _______________.

A fire dampers
B foam
C the range hood extinguishing system
D water
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the range hood extinguishing system. A galley grease fire on the stove should be extinguished using the range hood extinguishing system, which is designed specifically for this type of fire. The range hood system typically contains a chemical extinguishing agent that is effective at quickly and safely putting out a grease fire. Using water (option D) or foam (option B) is not recommended, as they can spread the fire or cause it to flare up. Fire dampers (option A) are used to control airflow, not to extinguish fires directly.
