70% to passA fire can be extinguished by removing __ _.
Athe oxygen
Bthe fuel
Cthe heat
Dany of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) any of the above. A fire can be extinguished by removing any one of the three essential elements that sustain a fire: oxygen, fuel, or heat. This is known as the "fire triangle" principle, which is a fundamental concept in firefighting. By removing any one of these elements, the chemical reaction that sustains the fire is disrupted, and the fire can be extinguished. The other options (A, B, and C) are also correct, as they each represent one of the three elements of the fire triangle. However, the most comprehensive answer is D) any of the above, as it acknowledges that a fire can be extinguished by removing any of the three essential elements.
