Question 2909 Deck General

The correct answer is B) cargo and box. The gross weight on a cargo manifest refers to the total weight of the cargo item, including the weight of the container or packaging. This includes the weight of the actual cargo contents as well as the weight of the box, crate, or other packaging material holding the cargo. The gross weight represents the full weight that needs to be accounted for when loading, transporting, and unloading the cargo. The other options are incorrect because A) the "rate weight" is not a standard term used on cargo manifests, C) the weight of the box alone does not constitute the gross weight, and D) the gross weight includes both the cargo and the container, not just the cargo itself.
