• A. stop the supply of oxygen.
• B. make him feel comfortable.
• C. save him from any injury.
• D. hold his body properly.

Answer 1

The correct option is A stop the supply of oxygen.

When the clothes of a person catch fire, his body is covered with a blanket to stop the supply of oxygen. Air (oxygen) is essential for combustion. In the absence of oxygen from the air, combustion will not occur. Hence, the fire will be extinguished.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
