Which of the following is the most appropriate and safest method to extinguish a small grease fire in a frying pan on a stovetop?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

For a small grease fire, the safest method is to smother it by carefully sliding a non-flammable lid over the pan. This cuts off the oxygen supply to the fire, causing it to go out. Never use water on a grease fire, as it can cause the fire to splatter and spread, potentially causing severe burns or further damage. Carrying a burning pan is extremely dangerous, and blowing air on it will fuel the flames.
