Solution
The correct option is C Only B and D
Fires require a fuel that is combustible to start and spread. It requires oxygen and fuels to stay burning. So, by cutting its supply of oxygen or fuel or heat itself, the flames can be extinguished. So, Rahul can make use of the Blanket, Fire extinguisher and water to douse the fire. However, alcohol and petrol are flammable materials which will only ignite the fire more.
