AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) class A. According to the Coast Guard regulations, a fire in a pile of canvas would be classified as a class A fire. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, paper, cloth, and plastics. These materials typically leave ash or embers when burning. A fire in a pile of canvas, which is a fabric material, would fall under the class A fire category. The other answer choices are incorrect because class B fires involve flammable liquids or gases, class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, and class D fires involve combustible metals, none of which apply to a fire in a pile of canvas.
