AI Explanation
The correct answer is C. A tank that has been used to carry hazardous liquids should be tested for oxygen content, toxicity, and explosive gases. This is correct because spaces that have been sealed for a long time can develop hazardous conditions due to the lack of ventilation. Testing for oxygen, toxicity, and explosive gases is crucial before entering such spaces to ensure the safety of the personnel. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not fully address the need for proper testing and evaluation of the space before entry.
