Which hazard classes require that no one smoke or light a flame within 25 feet of the vehicle carrying them?

Answer options

Why

A spark can set off explosives, flammable gases, liquids, and solids, and oxidizers make a fire burn harder, so smoking and open flames are banned within 25 feet of a vehicle hauling Class 1, Division 2.1, Class 3, Class 4, or Class 5 material.
