AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. Class C fires are electrical fires, and the fire extinguishing agents listed in the answer choices (carbon dioxide, Halon, and dry chemical) are all suitable for combating Class C fires. The Coast Guard regulations state that Class C fires must be extinguished using a non-conductive extinguishing agent that will not damage the electrical equipment. Carbon dioxide, Halon, and dry chemical extinguishers all meet these requirements and can be used effectively on Class C fires.
