AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) at which a liquid will give off flammable vapors. The flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which the liquid produces enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid. This is the point at which the liquid will give off flammable vapors that can be ignited, posing a fire hazard. The other options are incorrect because: B) refers to the pour point, C) refers to the fire point, and D) does not accurately describe the flash point.
