A
an apron
B
water
C
vinegar
D
baking soda
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pour on Baking Soda-Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they’re small. It takes a lot of baking soda to do the job. Spray the Pot with a Class B Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher-This is your last resort, as fire extinguishers will contaminate your kitchen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sodium bicarbonate can be used to extinguish small grease or electrical fires by being thrown over the fire, as heating of sodium bicarbonate releases carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Turn the stove off first, then cover the fire with a metal pot lid. Since fire can’t exist without oxygen, this will extinguish the grease fire. If it’s a smaller one, you can try using baking soda. Avoid using water, as it will just make the oil/grease spread.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cover the flames with a metal lid or cookie sheet. Leave the cover on until it has cooled. Turn off the heat source. If it’s small and manageable, pour baking soda or salt on it to smother the fire. As a last resort, spray the fire with a Class B dry chemical fire extinguisher. 21-Mar-2017
