AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) magnesium. A class "D" fire involves the burning of combustible metals, such as magnesium. Magnesium is a highly flammable metal that can ignite and burn vigorously when exposed to heat or flame. This type of fire requires specialized extinguishing agents, such as dry powder or metal-based extinguishers, to effectively suppress it. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the type of fire classified as a class "D" fire. Diesel oil (B) would be a class "B" fire, electrical insulation (C) would be a class "C" fire, and dunnage (D) would be a class "A" fire.
