Which hazard statement is shown on the example label?

• A. Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
• B. Corrosive to skin.
• C. May cause cancer.
• D. Causes mild irritation.

Answer: (A)

In Hazard Communication labels, the words describe the exact danger shown by the pictogram. A flame symbol signals flammability, so the hazard statement “Highly flammable liquid and vapor” communicates that the substance can ignite easily in both liquid and vapor forms. That’s why this statement fits the flame pictogram and the overall warning on the label.

The other statements correspond to different hazard classes: a statement about corrosive skin would go with a symbol for corrosion, a claim about cancer risk would pair with a carcinogen symbol, and a note about mild irritation would indicate an irritant hazard. So the flame-based statement is the one that matches the label’s warning.
