Arson crimes are what type of fire cause?

• A. Incendiary
• B. Natural
• C. Accidental
• D. Electrical

Answer: (A)

This question tests how fire causes are categorized by intent. An arson fire is started on purpose to achieve a goal, so it falls under the incendiary category—fires started deliberately, often with accelerants or ignition devices. In fire investigation, incendiary causes indicate intentional ignition, while natural causes come from nature (like lightning), accidental causes are unintentional (such as unattended cooking), and electrical causes stem from faults in electrical systems. Because arson involves deliberate action to start the fire, the best answer is incendiary.
