The correct answer is A) nine main classes. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code assigns dangerous goods into nine main classes based on the type of hazard they pose.

The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of main classes defined in the IMDG Code.
