DSusceptible to reflash
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Electrocution or shock. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as computers, appliances, or electrical wiring. The primary hazard associated with a Class C fire, other than fire damage, is the risk of electrocution or electric shock. This is because the fire may have damaged the electrical components, creating exposed live wires or conductive surfaces that can lead to electric shock or electrocution if touched. The other options, while potentially relevant to other fire classes, are not the primary concern for a Class C fire.
