Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: D) They generate their own oxygen when ignited and difficult to extinguish.
Certain materials involved in fires (like some chemicals or specific fuels) can be self-oxidizing. These require specialized extinguishing methods because they do not rely on atmospheric oxygen and are notoriously difficult to suppress once ignited.
