Which of the following describes the difference between a closed freight container and an open freight container?

A a closed unit encloses its contents with a permanent structure and the open unit does not

B a closed unit encloses its contents with a semi-permanent structure and the open unit does not

C an open unit encloses its contents with a permanent structure and has an access door that the closed unit does not have

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.
