AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) It is classified as a grade B poison. According to the Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment, allyl chloride is classified as a Grade B poison. This means it is a toxic substance that can be hazardous to human health if inhaled, ingested, or exposed to the skin. The guide provides specific information on the hazardous properties and handling requirements for chemicals like allyl chloride. The other answer choices are incorrect. Allyl chloride is not chemically unstable (A), and it should not be stored in steel tanks (B) due to its corrosive nature. While it does have a sour odor (C), this is not a defining characteristic listed in the guide.
