The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
- Lamp A: The incense stick E is dipped in oil and then placed on the wick. The oil-soaked stick will smother the flame, causing A to be put off.
- Lamp B: The incense stick F is dipped in petrol and then placed on the wick. Petrol is highly flammable, so B will glow bright.
- Lamp C: The incense stick G is dipped in water and then placed on the wick. The water-soaked stick will extinguish the flame, causing C to be put off.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: A will be put off, B will glow bright, and C will be put off.
