D
an open unit encloses its contents with a semi-permanent structure and the closed unit does not
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A. A closed freight container encloses its contents with a permanent structure, while an open freight container does not have a permanent enclosure. The key difference is the permanent nature of the structure enclosing the contents. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the core difference between closed and open freight containers. Options B and D reference a "semi-permanent" structure, which is not the defining characteristic. Option C describes an open container having an access door, which is not the primary distinction from a closed container.
