Some cargoes can react with air to form unstable oxygen compounds which could cause them to do which of the following?

A explode
B polymerize
C form CO2
D form water
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) explode. Certain cargoes, when exposed to air, can react to form unstable oxygen compounds that are highly explosive. This is a key safety consideration for the handling and transportation of such hazardous materials. The other options - polymerization, CO2 formation, or water formation - while potentially occurring, do not directly address the risk of explosion that is the focus of this question.
