Which cargo is considered volatile?

A Bunker C
B Sweet oil
C Turkey-red oil
D iso-Propylamine
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) iso-Propylamine. Iso-Propylamine is considered a volatile cargo because it is a flammable and reactive chemical. Under the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, volatile cargoes are those that have a low flashpoint, are highly flammable, or can react dangerously with other substances. Iso-Propylamine fits this definition, as it is a volatile amine compound. The other options are not considered volatile cargoes. Bunker C and sweet oil are not as flammable or reactive as iso-Propylamine, while turkey-red oil is a vegetable oil that does not exhibit the same volatile properties.
