Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — A substance that at normal temperature and pressure would be a gas.

Liquefied gases are substances that exist as gases at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure (STP). To facilitate efficient transport in bulk, they are converted to a liquid state through either refrigeration, pressurization, or a combination of both, allowing for significantly higher density and volume efficiency in containment tanks.
