Solution

The correct option is B $C O_{2}$
Some Class-B fires (hydrocarbons, petroleums, and fuels on fire) cannot be efficiently controlled with water. $C O_{2}$ being heavier than oxygen covers the fire like a blanket. Hence, one of the important factor for fire is cut off and the fire is controlled.
