Your containership has a container displaying a hazardous cargo placard. The placard has the number 2224 on it. This indicates that it is carrying what cargo?

A Propadiene, inhibited
B Acrylic acid
C Hexanol
D Benzonitrile
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Benzonitrile. The four-digit number on the hazardous cargo placard, 2224, corresponds to the UN identification number for Benzonitrile, which is a flammable liquid and toxic substance. This identification number system is established by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, which are the regulatory standards used for identifying and classifying hazardous materials during transportation. The other answer choices do not match the UN identification number 2224. Option A is for Propadiene, Option B is for Acrylic acid, and Option C is for Hexanol, each of which have different UN identification numbers.
