A petroleum liquid has a flash point of 85°F. This is a grade _______________.

A B flammable liquid
B C flammable liquid
C D combustible liquid
D E combustible liquid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) D combustible liquid. A petroleum liquid with a flash point of 85°F is classified as a D combustible liquid according to US Coast Guard regulations. Combustible liquids have a flash point at or above 100°F, but below 200°F. Since the given flash point of 85°F falls within this range, the correct classification is D combustible liquid. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) B flammable liquid has a flash point below 100°F. B) C flammable liquid has a flash point below 140°F. D) E combustible liquid has a flash point at or above 200°F.
