AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Explosion proof lights. Explosion proof lights are specifically designed to prevent the ignition of fuel vapors. They have features such as tight-fitting housings and enclosed components that prevent sparks or hot surfaces from coming into contact with the surrounding atmosphere. This makes them the least likely to cause ignition of fuel vapors compared to the other options provided. Loose wiring, static electricity, and open running electric motors can all potentially create sparks or heat that could ignite fuel vapors, making them more likely ignition sources than explosion proof lights.
