In the pictograph system, which class is depicted by a flame and a gasoline can?

• A. Class A
• B. Class C
• C. Class B
• D. Class D

Answer: (C)

Fires are categorized by the fuel involved, which helps determine the right extinguishing approach. A flame paired with a gasoline can signals flammable liquids, which is Class B. Class B covers fuels like gasoline, solvents, and oils, so extinguishers rated for liquids are used (such as foam, dry chemical, or CO2). The other symbols correspond to different classes: ordinary combustibles like wood and paper for Class A, energized electrical equipment for Class C, and combustible metals for Class D. So the symbol shown best matches Class B.
