AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a soft-bristled brush. When the cotton cover of a fire hose becomes oily or greasy, it should be washed with a solution of mild soapy fresh water and a soft-bristled brush. This is the recommended method to clean the hose cover without damaging the material. Using a wire brush (option C) could potentially tear or abrade the cotton cover, while paint thinner (option A) and cornstarch (option D) are not appropriate cleaning agents for this purpose.
