Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: Foam type.
Oil fires, often classified as Class B fires, involve flammable liquids. Foam extinguishers work by creating a blanket over the burning surface, separating the fuel from the air and cooling it. Water-based extinguishers are ineffective and can spread the fire.
