Pour a large glass or bottle of water on the fire

Use a blanket or a tarp to smother the fire

The security guard's next step should be to use a fire extinguisher with the appropriate agent to put out the controlled fire in the wastebasket. A is incorrect because using a large amount of water could spread the fire and cause more damage. B is incorrect because using a blanket or tarp may not be effective in extinguishing a fire and could also spread the fire. D is incorrect because as a security guard, it is important to take action and prevent any potential hazards or emergencies. In this situation, the security guard should use their training and knowledge to safely and effectively put out the fire.
