question # 10
multiple choice
forensic fire investigation _____.

is relatively simple

does not consider explosions

is usually done by the firefighting team

identifies what started the fire and what caused it to start

Explanation:

Forensic fire investigation aims to determine the cause and origin of fires. Let's analyze each option:

• "is relatively simple" is incorrect as fire investigation involves complex analysis of evidence, fire patterns, etc.
• "does not consider explosions" is wrong because explosions related to fires are part of forensic fire investigation (e.g., determining if an explosion caused a fire or vice versa).
• "is usually done by the firefighting team" is incorrect; forensic fire investigation is typically done by specialized investigators (like fire investigators, forensic experts), not just firefighting teams.
• "identifies what started the fire and what caused it to start" matches the goal of forensic fire investigation, which is to find the ignition source and the cause (e.g., accidental, intentional, due to a malfunction).

Answer:

D. identifies what started the fire and what caused it to start (assuming the options are labeled A - D with D being the last option as per the text: "identifies what started the fire and what caused it to start")
