AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) its good stability and non-toxicity. Dry chemical fire extinguishing agents are advantageous because they are generally stable and non-toxic, making them safe for use in a variety of environments. They work by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire, effectively smothering the flames. Unlike other agents like water, dry chemicals do not provide significant cooling, and may not permanently extinguish a fire if the ignition source is not removed. The other options are not the primary advantages of dry chemical agents.
