A CO2
B Dry chemical
C Foam
D Water spray
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Water spray. The Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials indicates that water spray is not recommended for use on a retinol fire. Retinol, which is a form of vitamin A, is a flammable liquid that reacts violently with water, potentially causing the fire to spread. Instead, the guide recommends using CO2, dry chemical, or foam extinguishing agents to effectively and safely put out a retinol fire. The other options, A) CO2, B) Dry chemical, and C) Foam, are all appropriate extinguishing agents for a retinol fire according to the Chemical Data Guide.
