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.

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.
