Packaging number 3 indicates the material is packaged in a which container?

• A. Bag
• B. Box
• C. Drum
• D. Jerrican

Answer: (D)

This question tests matching a packaging type to the designated container for liquids in the IATA packaging system. Packaging number 3 corresponds to a jerrican—a small, hand-carried container with a pouring opening and a handle, used for liquids in manageable quantities and designed to be leak-tight. The other options don’t fit because a bag is for solids or powders, a box is typically a rigid container for non-liquids, and a drum is a large bulk container for greater volumes. So the container that best fits packaging number 3 is the jerrican.
