A Each crew member must be provided with an emergency escape breathing apparatus.

B You must have a containment system made out of stainless steel other than types 416 and 422.

C If you are also carrying allyl alcohol, the venting systems don't have to be segregated.

D You must have two toxic vapor detectors or the pump room must meet special requirements.

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) You must have a containment system made out of stainless steel other than types 416 and 422. The reasoning is that the cargo diethylamine does not require a stainless steel containment system. The regulations for transporting diethylamine only specify that the containment system must be compatible with the cargo, but do not mandate a specific material like stainless steel. The other answer choices are requirements for transporting certain other hazardous cargoes, but they do not apply to diethylamine.
