AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, and the three types of extinguishers listed - halon, carbon dioxide, and dry chemical - are all approved and effective for combating Class C fires. These extinguishers do not conduct electricity, making them safe to use on energized electrical equipment without risk of electric shock. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not encompass all the extinguisher types suitable for Class C fires.
