AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) It is a grade E combustible liquid.

The other options provided are incorrect, as they do not accurately describe the properties of castor oil. Specifically, the boiling point of castor oil is higher than 215°F (102°C), and its specific gravity is lower than 1.3.
