AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Weight of a container. Tare weight refers to the weight of an empty container, without any contents. This is an important measurement in shipping and logistics, as it allows the weight of the actual cargo or contents to be determined by subtracting the tare weight from the total gross weight of the container and its contents. The other answer choices are incorrect because B) refers to the weight of the contents, C) refers to the total weight of the container and contents, and D) is not related to the definition of tare weight.
