AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. Nitrobenzene is a highly toxic chemical that poses several dangers. It is considered a nerve poison, meaning it can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system. It is also a blood poison, as it can interfere with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Most importantly, nitrobenzene is highly toxic when absorbed through the skin, which is a major concern when disconnecting cargo hoses. Therefore, all three statements are accurate, and the correct answer is D) All of the above.
