The answer is C - Check it for heat with the back of your hand. You can rule the others out and get your answer by simply going by logic. To check for heat you do not A - Kick the door open, or D - Grab the handle. That isn't checking the heat at all, so now we have B and C. Do you use your forearm or the back of your hand? You use the back of your hand. It's the smallest part of you body in this case the most accessible. You might be wearing a longer shirt, for example. The hand is also easiest to move towards the handle and can rotate better. Also, if there is no heat, or very little, one may successfully and quickly open the door. A split second timing can mean the difference between life and death.

ANSWER: a. Avoid touching it except to kick it open

EXPLANATION: In the event of fire, the best way to determine if a door is safe to open or not is by avoiding to touch and check it and rather one can kick it to open. There are many reasons for this, first is checking if the door is safe to open with hand may injure the hand and cause burns on the skin. The second reason is kicking the door will distance the body from the door making a safe distance between the two. Third reason is in the event of fire, doors may get locked and may be impossible to open just by a push of the hand. So, it is best to kick the door to open.
