    You are preparing educational materials concerning fire safety in the home. What research data will be included in the material?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. While smoke inhalation is a leading cause of death in fires, the question asks what research data should be included in educational materials, and a demographic fact like fire mortality by age is more directly useful for education and targeting prevention. B. Most fires occur inside the home, not outside, especially cooking- and heating-related fires. C. Fire mortality is highest in adults older than 80 years of age, according to fire safety research, making this the most relevant and accurate data point for educational purposes. D. Most residential fires actually occur during the nighttime, when people are asleep and less likely to respond quickly.
