Which statement is NOT true concerning the stowage of class 1 explosives?

A Class 1.4 explosives must be "separated from" a stow of class 8 corrosive materials.
B Class 1.4 explosives may not be stowed in the same hold with class 6.1 poisons.
C Class 1.4 explosives must be "separated from" a stow of class 5.1 oxidizing materials.
D Class 1.1 explosives may be stowed with class 9 dangerous substances
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D. Class 1.1 explosives may be stowed with class 9 dangerous substances. The reasoning for this is that the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) code allows for the stowage of class 1.1 explosives with class 9 dangerous substances, provided that the class 9 substances do not increase the risk or enhance the explosive properties of the class 1.1 materials. In contrast, the other options are incorrect because the IMDG code requires class 1.4 explosives to be "separated from" class 8 corrosives and class 5.1 oxidizers, and prohibits the stowage of class 1.4 explosives in the same hold as class 6.1 poisons.
