True or false: The signal words EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE are displayed if package contents have a flash point below 80 degrees F.

• A. False
• B. Not displayed
• C. True
• D. Depends on packaging

Answer: (C)

Warnings on hazmat labels communicate the level of flammability risk. When a product’s flash point is very low, the material can ignite easily at room temperature, so a stronger warning is needed. If the flash point is below 80°F, the label uses the signal word EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE to alert handlers to take tighter precautions and to store and transport the substance away from ignition sources, with proper grounding, ventilation, and appropriate containment. That’s why the statement is true: the EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE signal word is displayed for materials with a flash point below 80°F. It isn’t a matter of packaging—it's about the actual flash point threshold—so the other options don’t fit.
