Belectricity
Coxygen
Dfuel
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) electricity. The fire triangle consists of three essential elements required for a fire to occur: heat, oxygen, and fuel. Electricity is not one of the three components of the fire triangle. It is a source of ignition that can provide the heat necessary to start a fire, but it is not a fundamental element of the fire triangle itself. The other answer choices (A, C, and D) are all correctly identified as part of the fire triangle. Heat is the source of ignition, oxygen supports combustion, and fuel is the material that burns.
