Explanation:

A prescribed burn is a controlled fire. It is planned and carried out by experts. The main purpose is often to clear fire - fuel (such as dead leaves, branches etc.) which helps in reducing the risk of uncontrolled, more destructive wildfires.
Managed fires for oxygen release is not the main purpose of prescribed burns. Accidental fires (by humans) are not prescribed burns. Naturally occurring fires (by lightning) are wildfires, not prescribed burns.

Controlled fires created by experts to clear fire fuel.
