Cargoes that might leak from containers are known as _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Wet cargoes.
Cargoes that might leak from containers are known as "wet cargoes". This refers to any cargo that has the potential to leak or spill from its container, often due to the cargo's liquid or semi-liquid nature. Wet cargoes pose a risk of contamination and must be handled with extra care to prevent leaks or spills.
The other answer choices are incorrect. "Dirty cargoes" and "caustic cargoes" are not specific terms used to describe leaking cargoes, while "bulk cargoes" refers to cargo that is transported unpackaged, such as grains or minerals, which is a different category from containerized cargoes.
