ASusceptible to reflash
BExplosion
CElectrocution or shock
DDeep seated fire
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Electrocution or shock. The key hazard associated with a Class C fire, which involves energized electrical equipment, is the risk of electrocution or electrical shock. Unlike other fire classes, a Class C fire presents the additional danger of electricity, which can lead to potentially fatal injuries if not handled properly. The other answer choices, while relevant to other fire types, are not the primary concerns for a Class C fire. Susceptibility to reflash and deep-seated fires are more relevant to Class A and B fires, while explosion is more of a concern for Class B fires involving flammable liquids or gases.
