The packing instructions do not ensure the packaging is ________ for transit with most dangerous goods.

• A. Safe
• B. Adequate
• C. Suitable
• D. Compliant

Answer: (C)

Packing instructions describe how to prepare dangerous goods so the packaging will perform during transport. The word that fits best is suitable, because it emphasizes that the packaging must be fit for its intended purpose in transit for the specific dangerous goods. Following packing instructions shows you’re using the right method and materials, but it doesn’t automatically guarantee that the package will be suitable for all transit conditions or handling scenarios. Safe is a general attribute of protection but doesn’t capture the fit-for-purpose idea; adequate is weaker and doesn’t convey suitability for transport; compliant focuses on meeting rules, which is important but doesn’t directly express how well the packaging serves the transport task itself.
