A hazardous material's basic description on a shipping paper has to follow a set sequence. Which of these descriptions lists its parts in the correct order?

Answer options

Why

The basic description must start with the UN or NA identification number, followed by the proper shipping name, then the hazard class, and then the packing group when there is one. The acetone entry begins with the hazard class and the sulfuric acid entry puts the name before the ID number, so only the gasoline entry is in sequence.
