AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. Low velocity water fog is an effective firefighting technique because it serves as a smothering agent, a barrier against radiant heat, and a cooling agent. The fine water mist created by low velocity fog helps to smother the fire by reducing oxygen availability, while also absorbing heat from the fire and creating a protective barrier against radiant heat transfer. This makes low velocity water fog a versatile and highly effective tool for firefighting compared to other options.
