B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct idiom is 'A burnt child dreads fire,' meaning someone who has experienced pain or trauma learns to fear its cause. 'Burnt' is the past participle describing the child's experience. 'Blazed' is an adjective for fire, not describing a child. 'Frightened' and 'young' don't complete this traditional proverb.
