Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Electrical fires require extinguishing agents that do not conduct electricity to prevent electrocution risks. Carbon dioxide is a non-conductive gas that effectively smothers electrical fires without damaging equipment, making it the appropriate choice. Water should not be used as it conducts electricity.
