Cottonseed oil is classed as a _______________.

A combustible liquid
B flammable solid
C flammable liquid
D poison B
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) combustible liquid. Cottonseed oil is classified as a combustible liquid under the hazardous materials regulations. Combustible liquids have a flash point at or above 100°F (37.8°C) and below 200°F (93.3°C). Cottonseed oil falls within this temperature range, making it a combustible liquid rather than a flammable liquid, flammable solid, or poison. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) flammable solid is incorrect as cottonseed oil is a liquid, not a solid; C) flammable liquid is incorrect as cottonseed oil has a flash point above 100°F; and D) poison B is incorrect as cottonseed oil is not classified as a poison.
