AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) discarded as soon as possible. Oily rags can pose a serious fire hazard due to the potential for spontaneous combustion. Regulations require that accumulations of oily rags be discarded as soon as possible, rather than stored or reused, to minimize this fire risk. The other options are incorrect because: A) reusing oily rags increases the fire hazard, B) the paint locker is not an appropriate storage location, and D) nonmetal containers do not eliminate the fire risk posed by oily rags.
