Solution:

Fuel, oxygen and heat or spark all occurring within confinement are necessary to create
a combustible dust explosion. Poor ventilation may lead to a buildup of fuel and the
ventilation system may be considered to be confined, but poor ventilation alone is not a
component of a combustible dust fire.

The correct solution is D.
