70% to pass

Flammable liquids should have what kind of label?

A White
B Skull and crossbones
C Yellow
D Red
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Red. Flammable liquids should have a red label, as per the regulations set by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). The red label indicates the flammable nature of the liquid, warning users and handlers to take appropriate safety precautions. This is the standard color coding used for hazardous materials that pose a fire risk. The other options are incorrect because: A) White is typically used for non-hazardous materials, B) Skull and crossbones indicate a toxic substance, and C) Yellow is used for oxidizing agents, which are a different class of hazardous materials.
