Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: D) Carbon-dioxide.
For fires involving energized electrical equipment, such as switchboards, a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguisher is the preferred choice. CO2 is a non-conductive gas that displaces oxygen and cools the fire without leaving residue.
