In accordance with U.S. regulations on the transportation of hazardous materials, which of the following is true concerning a transport unit with fabric sides or tops?

A they are semi-rigid cargo transport units
B they are closed cargo transport units
C they are ventilated cargo transport units
D they are open cargo transport units
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) they are open cargo transport units. According to U.S. regulations, a transport unit with fabric sides or tops is considered an open cargo transport unit. This is because the fabric construction does not provide the level of enclosure and containment required for closed or semi-rigid cargo transport units. The open design allows for ventilation and does not restrict the free flow of air, which is a key characteristic of open cargo transport units. The other options are incorrect because semi-rigid units have a more substantial construction, closed units are fully enclosed, and ventilated units have specific ventilation requirements that fabric-sided units may not meet.
