Answer

It is missing the required information (option A, B and C) in your question. Could you please provide the options to enable me to answer your question clearly and correctly?

Explanation

## Step1: To tackle this question, a basic understanding of the procedure of thermal decomposition and the various ways to indirectly confirm carbon dioxide production is needed. ## Step2: Carbon dioxide's specific properties can be exploited to confirm its presence. During an ongoing thermal decomposition, it can be detected by using a reactant that inflames, flames less or completely goes off when carbon dioxide is introduced. This explains why in some carbon-dioxide fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide is utilized because it's heavier than oxygen and displaces it around burning material. ## Step3: Thus when described equipment is adapted to drench flames as carbon dioxide being produced ties up available oxygen, it confirms the presence of carbon dioxide production in the applied practical test.
