The label required on containers carrying barium oxide in an international shipment must read _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) "Poison".
Barium oxide is a corrosive and toxic substance, and containers carrying it in an international shipment must be labeled as "Poison" in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. The IMDG Code is the international standard for the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea, and it requires specific labeling and packaging for hazardous materials like barium oxide.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the hazards associated with barium oxide. "Infectious Substance" and "Radioactive" are not appropriate labels for barium oxide, and "Spontaneously Combustible" does not reflect the primary hazard of this substance.
