C
The essential requirements for producing fire are fuel, air(to supply oxygen),and heat. Fire can be controlled by removing one or more of these requirements.
As oxygen gas is essential for combustion, we can stop the fire by cutting the supply of oxygen. This can be done by wrapping a blanket around the person. So, it stops the combustion and the person can be saved.
