Answer:

A) Class A = 1. Ordinary combustibles

B) Class B= 2. Flammable liquids and gases

C) Class C= 3. Electrical equipment

D) Class D= 4. Combustible metals

Step-by-step explanation:

Class A would be physical/Solid objects that would be flammable, such as the mentioned wood, paper, and cloth/fabric, and some types of plasic

Class B would be Gasoline and the such, and flammable gases would be propane and aerosols

Class C is the fires that are caused by electrical equipment, and the Class C Fire Extinguisher is not a foam or liquid to prevent the fire from getting worse

And finally, Class D would include metals such as sodium, titanium, zirconium, or magnesium. The class D fire extinguishers use a dry powder to put out fires caused by metals.

Hope this helped!
