Which extinguishing agent is recommended in the Chemical Data Guide for use on a carbon disulfide fire?

A Chemical foam
B Water fog
C Alcohol foam
D Dry chemical
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Dry chemical. According to the Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials, dry chemical is the recommended extinguishing agent for a carbon disulfide fire. Carbon disulfide is a flammable liquid, and dry chemical extinguishers are effective in quickly suppressing fires involving flammable liquids. The other options, such as chemical foam, water fog, and alcohol foam, are not as effective for this type of fire as dry chemical.
