B
Clear combustibles.
C
Remove or control water.
D
Shade capacity.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Hot work should be controlled so sparks cannot ignite nearby combustible materials.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: Clear combustibles.

Clear combustibles. may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Option C: Remove or control water.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; clear, combustibles, remove cannot stand in for Reviewing Welding.
