Which of the following is classified as a flammable liquid?

A Methyl alcohol
B Mineral spirits
C Butane
D Bunker C
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Methyl alcohol. Methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, is classified as a flammable liquid under U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Flammable liquids are defined as liquids with a flashpoint below 141°F (60.5°C). Methyl alcohol has a flashpoint of approximately 52°F (11°C), making it a highly flammable substance. The other options are incorrect because: B) Mineral spirits is also a flammable liquid, C) Butane is a flammable gas, and D) Bunker C is a heavy fuel oil, which is not considered a flammable liquid.
