A
C or D
B
E
C
A or B
D
B
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) C or D. Most crude oils are classified as either Grade C or Grade D under the U.S. Coast Guard's hazardous material classifications. This is because crude oils typically have a flashpoint (the minimum temperature at which the oil gives off sufficient vapor to ignite) below 140°F, which places them in the C or D grade categories. Grade A and B classifications are reserved for materials with higher flashpoints, while Grade E is for materials with extremely low flashpoints. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the typical hazard classification for crude oils.
