Chain reaction
B
Electricity
C
Pressure
D
Smoke
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Chain reaction. In addition to the heat, fuel, and oxygen of the fire triangle, a chain reaction is required to sustain a fire. The chain reaction is the continuous cycle of the fire releasing heat, which in turn ignites more fuel, producing more heat, and so on. This self-sustaining cycle is necessary for a fire to continue burning. The other options (B, C, and D) are not required for a fire to occur and are therefore incorrect.
