D light weight
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) net weight. The net weight refers to the weight of the cargo or contents inside a box or container, excluding the weight of the container itself. This is the important measurement that needs to be accurately recorded on the cargo manifest, as it determines the actual load being transported. The other answer choices are incorrect: A) rate weight is not a standard term used for cargo manifests. C) gross weight includes the weight of the container, which is not the desired measurement. D) light weight also refers to the empty weight of the container, not the contents.
