AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Fresh water, soap, and a stiff brush. Explanation: To remove corrosion from the swivel on the female coupling of a fire hose, fresh water, soap, and a stiff brush should be used. This method is recommended as it effectively cleans the surface without causing any damage to the metal components. The other options, such as using talc and sandpaper (A), bearing grease and a wire brush (B), or fish oil and a soft brush (C), are not suitable as they may further damage the swivel or leave residues that could interfere with the proper functioning of the fire hose.
