You are on a containership. The cargo includes a container of small arms ammunition, a container of lead-acid storage batteries and a container of methyl acetylene bottles. Which statement is TRUE?

Correct Answer: Option D — No separation is required because freight containers are exempted.

Under hazardous materials transportation regulations, freight containers packed with mixed classes of dangerous goods are often granted specific exemptions from standard inter-container segregation rules provided the container itself meets structural packing and placarding requirements.
