Which extinguishing agent is recommended in the Chemical Data Guide for use on a carbon disulfide fire?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Dry chemical.
According to the Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials, dry chemical is the recommended extinguishing agent for a carbon disulfide fire.

The other options, such as chemical foam, water fog, and alcohol foam, are not as effective for this type of fire as dry chemical.
