A shipping paper lists both hazardous and non-hazardous items. Which of these is an accepted way to make the hazardous entries stand out?

Answer options

Why

When hazardous and ordinary products share one shipping paper, the hazardous ones must be easy to pick out, and highlighting them in a contrasting color does that. The other accepted methods are listing them before the non-hazardous items or marking them with an X (or RQ) in the HM column.
