Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) The four elements required for combustion.
The fire tetrahedron illustrates the four components necessary for fire: heat, fuel, oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction. Removing any one of these elements will extinguish the fire, which forms the fundamental principle behind all firefighting strategies and agent selection.
