The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code assigns classes for dangerous goods. What is the proper nomenclature for class 1 substances?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Explosives. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code classifies dangerous goods into different classes based on their hazardous properties. Class 1 substances are classified as "Explosives" under the IMDG Code. This includes materials and articles that have the potential to explode under certain conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because they correspond to different classes of dangerous goods under the IMDG Code: A) Flammable liquids (Class 3), B) Gases (Class 2), and C) Radioactive material (Class 7).
