Cthe fire spreading by way of the ventilation system
Dfixed foam systems to be ineffective
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) the fire spreading by way of the ventilation system. Explanation: The blocking or absence of fire dampers in a ventilation system can allow the fire to spread more easily through the ductwork, enabling the fire to propagate throughout the building. Without properly functioning fire dampers, the ventilation system can act as a conduit for the fire, allowing smoke and flames to be circulated through the building. This can lead to the rapid spread of the fire, making it more difficult to contain and control. The other answer choices do not directly address the impact of fire damper issues on the spread of fire through the ventilation system.
