    Option A

    Explanation:

    Fighting flammable substances such as grease or oils fires with water is dangerous and might cause it to spread as the liquids are less dense than water and hence forms a layer on top of water. Water will thus increase the surface area for the less dense liquids to spread, hence spreading the fire.
