Multiple Choice

Which of the following items is included in the prohibition on transporting pesticides with other items?

Pesticides must be kept separate from other items to prevent cross‑contamination and exposure. Furniture is included because it is a common item that can come into contact with residues or absorb vapors from pesticides, making it difficult to prevent contamination or transfer of residues to people handling or using the items later. Transporting pesticides with furniture increases the risk of exposure during loading, unloading, or re-handling. The other options pose different kinds of risks (for example, dairy products would raise food-safety concerns), but the scenario specifically highlights furniture as the prohibited combination.
