AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Electrocution or shock. The primary hazard associated with a Class C fire, other than fire damage, is the risk of electrocution or shock. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as wiring, motors, or appliances. In this type of fire, the primary concern is the potential for electrical shock or electrocution, as the fire may have damaged the electrical components, creating a shock hazard. The other answer choices, such as explosion, reflash, or flashover, are not the primary hazards associated with a Class C fire.
