Correct answer: (B) Emulsion with non-electric detonator
Explanation
The source selects B because emulsion explosives have strong water resistance and non-electric initiation avoids electrical-current-related initiation concerns. ANFO is adversely affected by water, while the other pairs do not provide the intended standard combination. This identifies the examination’s material/system properties, rather than a field design procedure.
