    1.      Under the FCP, a kind of stable explosive compound which explodes by percussion is known as:

    • A) Fulminate

    • B) Hyperbolic fuel

    • C) Forge

    Correct Answer
    A. A) Fulminate
    Explanation
    Under the FCP (Fireworks Control Program), a stable explosive compound that detonates upon percussion is referred to as a fulminate. Fulminates are highly sensitive and can explode with a small amount of force, making them suitable for use in percussion caps and primers. They are commonly used in firearms and other applications where a small, controlled explosion is required. Hyperbolic fuel and forge are not correct answers as they do not describe a stable explosive compound that detonates upon percussion.
