Asensitizer
Bpyrophoric hazard
Coxidizer
Dskin contact hazard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) sensitizer. A sensitizer is a chemical that can cause an allergic-like reaction in some people after repeated exposure. This is a common health hazard listed on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals that can induce an immune system response in sensitive individuals. The other answer choices are incorrect because they describe different types of chemical hazards - pyrophoric hazards are chemicals that can ignite spontaneously, oxidizers are chemicals that promote combustion, and skin contact hazards are chemicals that can cause direct skin irritation or damage, rather than an allergic response.
