Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You should use this on small grease fires:
A
water
B
flour
C
blanket
D
baking soda or a lid to stop oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With the lid on (and the heat off), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Baking soda is effective because it releases carbon dioxide when heated, which can smother the fire. Salt forms a barrier between the fire and the air. This prevents the fire from getting the oxygen it needs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Class B extinguishers are rated for fires involving flammable liquids such as kitchen grease, gasoline, oil, solvents and oil-based paint. Class B extinguishers are numerically rated on the number of square feet of fire they can put out. A 10-B extinguisher can cover 10 square feet of fire.

Detailed explanation-4: -Will salt extinguish a grease fire? Yes, salt will extinguish a small grease fire. However, you will need a lot of salt to do this-think of several handfuls. You should only attempt this method on small fires.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on the deep fryer or frying pan. Slowly heat the oil to your desired temperature. Turn off the burner if you suspect the grease is getting too hot. Place the food in the grease carefully to prevent hot grease splatter.
