AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) water. Water is the most common cooling agent used for fighting fires on tank vessels. This is because water is an effective cooling agent that can absorb heat and lower the temperature of the fire, which is essential for controlling and extinguishing fires on flammable liquid storage tanks and other tank vessels. Other options, such as steam smothering, flue gas, or carbon dioxide, are not as widely used as the primary cooling agent for fighting fires on tank vessels.
