Correct Answer: Option A — The agent may be applied in short bursts by opening and closing the squeeze nozzle piece #1.

Stored pressure and cartridge-operated extinguishers with squeeze-grip valves allow the operator to control agent application using short bursts. This conserves extinguishing medium, prevents agent depletion, and helps manage fuel vaporization during firefighting operations.
