Answer 2

The cylinder should be covered with a wet blanket in situations when the gas cylinder catches fire at home.  

Answer: C.  

Explanation:  

Gas cylinders are essential items for homes but when handled carelessly can prove to be fatal. When LPG bottles catch fire, wet cloth or wet blanket should be wrapped around the cylinder if the source of the gas leak is identified and is stopped. This will cool the metal body of the cylinder from overheating and allows the gas to cool off before it reaches the ignition temperature.
