AA
BB
CC
DD
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A. A liquid with a flash point below 100°F is classified as a flammable liquid, which corresponds to a Class A hazardous material under the U.S. Coast Guard's regulations for Captain's License Examinations. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the liquid gives off enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. Liquids with flash points below 100°F are considered highly flammable and require special handling and storage procedures. The other options (B, C, and D) do not accurately reflect the hazard classification for a liquid with a flash point below 100°F, which is the key information provided in the question.
