Answer: d)

Explanation: I found the options that are missing in your question.

Select one: a. 138 b. 147 c. 154 d. 171

The guide that is assigned to this kind of material is number 171. It is a guide about substances and in it, we can see that public safety and potential hazards are described. Other important things that we can see in this guide are evacuation (sections spill and fire), health and protective clothing.

It is describing that the inhalation of bad substances is bad for our health, we must avoid physical contact, fire is dangerous and it can be harmful, toxic gasses are also dangerous and the fire can cause pollution.

This guide is about what to do in those situations and how to be safe, it is also showing us what are possible situations that could happen when the substance is out, in this case, strewn across the roadway.
