Aa chemical reaction of foam components and air
Bchemical reaction of foam components and water
Cgas bubbles liberated when the foam chemical contacts fire
Dmechanically mixing and agitating foam chemical, water, and air
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) mechanically mixing and agitating foam chemical, water, and air. Mechanical foam is produced by mechanically mixing and agitating the foam concentrate (chemical) with water and air. This process creates a stable foam solution that can effectively smother and extinguish fires. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the production of mechanical foam, which requires the mechanical mixing of the foam components, not just a chemical reaction or gas liberation.
