Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The correct operation for using a fire extinguisher involves pulling the pin, aiming the nozzle at the base of the fire, squeezing the handle to release the extinguishing agent, and sweeping the nozzle from side to side to cover the area of the fire. Therefore, "squeeze" is the correct term for operating the handle.
