baking soda

C
nothing, just move it off the heat
D
more grease
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: -Do NOT use flour on a grease fire. While sometimes baking soda can extinguish a small grease fire (though not if the fire is too overwhelming), flour cannot and should not be used. Due to chemical risk of contaminating your kitchen, putting out a grease fire with your fire extinguisher should be the last resort.

Detailed explanation-3: -Never use flour or water to extinguish a cooking fire. Flour is combustible and water can spread the fire. Never attempt to carry a burning pan out of the kitchen area; severe burns could result and the fire could spread.

Detailed explanation-4: -Baking soda releases carbon dioxide, smothering flames.

Detailed explanation-5: -Turn off the stove. Cover the pot, pan, or fryer with a lid. Douse the fire with baking soda, salt, or a fire extinguisher-never water. 07-Oct-2022
