ALube oil
BAcetylene
CGrease
DAll of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. Class B fires involve flammable liquids, gases, and greases. Lube oil, acetylene, and grease would all be considered Class B fire hazards according to the fire classification system used in the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. This is because these materials are flammable and can spread quickly, requiring specialized extinguishing agents like dry chemical or carbon dioxide to effectively put out the fire. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the range of Class B fire hazards, which include a variety of flammable liquids, gases, and greases.
