AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Dry chemical and carbon dioxide. These types of portable fire extinguishers are designed for putting out electrical fires because they are non-conductive and will not damage electrical equipment. Foam and water extinguishers can conduct electricity, while carbon dioxide and dry chemical extinguishers are safe for use on energized electrical equipment. The other options, such as foam and water, are not suitable for electrical fires as they can create a shock hazard.
