Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) extinguisher.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) extinguishers are specifically designed for electrical fires (Class C). Carbon dioxide is a non-conductive gas that smothers the fire by displacing oxygen without leaving a residue, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electrical equipment.
