Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: C) To generate a fine mist for fire suppression.
A water fog nozzle disperses water into fine droplets, creating a large surface area for rapid heat absorption and conversion into steam. This rapidly cools the fire, displaces oxygen, and can protect firefighters from radiant heat, making it effective for general fire suppression and boundary cooling.
