Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Stand by with water or other agents.
CO2 displaces oxygen and can cause asphyxiation. Immediately after use, there is a risk of re-flash if the heat source remains, or re-ignition due to the presence of unburnt fuel. Therefore, standing by with backup extinguishing agents is crucial.
