Solution
The correct option is D All of the above A substance burns only in the presence of oxygen. So, cutting off the oxygen supply can stop the fire. Also, if the fuel supply is suppressed, the fire can not continue burning at the same rate. Additionally, reducing the accidental area makes the combustion less violent.
