C
Heat
D
Oxygen
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the fire tetrahedron, which consists of four elements necessary for combustion: fuel, heat, oxygen, and the chemical chain reaction.
Recognize that the traditional fire triangle includes fuel, heat, and oxygen, which are essential for starting and sustaining combustion.
Learn that the fire tetrahedron adds the chemical chain reaction to explain the self-sustaining nature of flaming (gas-phase) combustion.
Identify that the chemical chain reaction represents the series of reactions in the gas phase that propagate the flame once ignition has occurred.
Conclude that the element specifically included to explain flaming combustion in the fire tetrahedron is the chemical chain reaction.
