Most crude oils are classified as grade _______________.

A B
B C or D
C A or B
D E
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) C or D. Most crude oils are classified as Grade C or D flammable liquids according to the US Coast Guard regulations governing Captain's License Examinations. Grade C and D oils have lower flash points compared to Grade A or B, making them more flammable and hazardous to handle. This classification is important for ensuring proper safety procedures and equipment are in place when transporting or working with crude oils aboard vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect - Grade A or B would be for less flammable liquids, while Grade E is not a standard crude oil classification used by the Coast Guard.
