Which cargoes require strips of common building lathe as dunnage in order to carry away heat generated by the cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Refrigerated fruit that is ripening.
Refrigerated cargoes that are generating heat, such as ripening fruit, require the use of dunnage (commonly wooden strips) to allow air circulation and dissipate the heat. This prevents the cargo from overheating and spoiling. The other options, such as cardboard cartons, paper products, and canned soups, do not typically generate significant internal heat that would require this type of dunnage. The dunnage allows the refrigeration system to effectively cool the cargo and maintain the proper temperature.
