Bhave a flash point of 80°F or higher
Care highly volatile with a flash point of 0°F
Dspontaneously ignite
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) have a flash point of 80°F or higher. Combustible liquids are defined as liquids that have a flash point at or above 100°F. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the liquid gives off enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. Liquids with a flash point at or above 80°F but below 100°F are considered combustible. Option B accurately captures this definition, while the other options do not correctly describe the characteristics of combustible liquids.
