Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Pulled all the way back.
On most firefighting nozzles, pulling the handle back is the action that adjusts the nozzle to produce a solid stream of water. Pushing it forward typically creates a spray pattern, which is also useful for cooling but not for a solid stream.
