Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — its good stability and non-toxicity

Dry chemical agents are chemically stable, non-toxic, and highly effective at interrupting the chain reaction of a fire. They are particularly useful for electrical and liquid fires. Their stability ensures they remain effective over long periods in storage, provided they are kept dry to prevent caking or clumping.
