70% to pass

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code assigns classes for dangerous goods. What is the proper nomenclature for class 7 substances?

A Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides
B Toxic and infectious substances
C Flammable solids
D Radioactive material
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Radioactive material. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code assigns class 7 to radioactive materials. This is in accordance with the classification system established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the transportation of dangerous goods by sea. Class 7 substances are those that exhibit radioactivity and require special handling and packaging procedures to ensure safe transport. The other answer choices do not correspond to the proper IMDG classification for class 7 substances. Class A is for oxidizing substances and organic peroxides, class B is for toxic and infectious substances, and class C is for flammable solids, none of which are the correct classification for radioactive materials.
