Answer 8

C
Explanation:
Realize that in the case of airborne irritants, EVACUATION would be appropriate for EXPOSED individuals, however, in some instances, evacuation through a toxic atmosphere may actually cause more harm than good, such as removing occupants from their uncontaminated apartments and transporting them through a contaminated public hallway or staircase. In this type of situation, the decision to shelter in place would be more appropriate.
In addition….Controlled ventilation (mechanical or natural) of the affected areas by fire department personnel will facilitate rapid dissipation of the vapor cloud. Be cognizant of where ventilation will move the product to. Avoid moving the product to occupied areas.
