The flash point of a product is 100°F. What can happen if it is heated above 110°F?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — It may burn and explode if an ignition source is present.
When a combustible liquid is heated above its flash point, it continuously generates flammable vapors. Introducing any ignition source when temperatures exceed this threshold creates an immediate fire and explosion hazard.
