oxygen and heat

Answer 1

Water primarily removes heat from the fire when it is dropped on it. As water is applied, it cools down the burning materials, which helps to lower the temperature below the ignition point. While water does not directly remove oxygen or fuel, it can slow the fire's spread and reduce the availability of fuel by soaking it.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**only heat**
