In a cartridge-operated dry chemical type fire extinguisher, when the CO2 cartridge is activated, the dry chemical is released from the extinguisher _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) with the squeeze-grip on/off nozzle at the end of the hose.
In a cartridge-operated dry chemical fire extinguisher, when the CO2 cartridge is activated, it pressurizes the extinguisher, which then releases the dry chemical through the squeeze-grip nozzle at the end of the hose. This allows the user to direct the dry chemical at the fire. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe how the dry chemical is released in this type of extinguisher.
