Which term matches the definition: a generic term for articles consisting of all kinds of bombs, grenades, rockets, mines, projectiles, etc. Not allowed on civilian passenger/cargo aircraft.

• A. Gun Powder
• B. Cartridge
• C. Explode
• D. Ammunition

Answer: (D)

In air transport, the umbrella term for articles designed as weapons—such as bombs, grenades, rockets, mines, and other projectiles—is ammunition. This category covers the various explosive devices as a whole, which is why it’s the correct term for the definition given. Gun powder refers specifically to the propellant used to launch a projectile, not the whole category. A cartridge is a single unit containing a projectile and its propellant, not the broad class. Explode is a verb describing the action, not a noun for the items. Because these items are not allowed on civilian passenger or cargo aircraft under standard regulations, ammunition is the fitting term.
