70% to pass

Another name for coal naphtha that would appear on a dangerous cargo manifest is _______________.

A tar
B toluene
C benzene
D middle oil
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) benzene. Benzene is the correct answer because it is another name for coal naphtha, which is a volatile liquid hydrocarbon derived from the distillation of coal tar. Benzene is a common component of coal naphtha and would appear on a dangerous cargo manifest as an alternative name for this hazardous substance. The other answer choices are incorrect because tar is a thick, sticky substance, toluene is a different type of hydrocarbon, and middle oil is a broader term that does not specifically refer to coal naphtha or benzene.
