Which of the following fire suppression systems is MOST appropriate to use in a data center environment?

A. Wet-pipe sprinkler system
B. Dry-pipe sprinkler system
C. FM-200system
D. Carbon dioxide-based fire extinguishers

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation:
FM-200 is safer to use than carbon dioxide. It is considered a clean agent for use in gaseous fire suppression applications. A water-based fire extinguisher is suitable when sensitive computer equipment could be damaged before the fire department personnel arrive at the site. Manual firefighting (fire extinguishers) may not provide fast enough protection for sensitive equipment (e.g., network servers).
