• A. Flammable
• B. Reactive
• C. Radioactive
• D. Toxic

Answer: (D)

A toxic hazard is a poisonous substance that can cause sickness or death, depending on how much exposure you have. Exposure through inhalation or skin contact is a common way people are affected by toxic materials, which is why proper ventilation, protective equipment, and handling procedures are critical. Flammable hazards involve the potential to ignite or burn, not necessarily poisoning. Reactive hazards concern hazardous chemical reactions with other substances, which can cause explosions or heat release. Radioactive hazards involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which is a different risk than chemical toxicity.
