Which symbol is associated with Harmful or Fatal hazard?

• A. Radioactive
• B. Biohazardous/Infectious
• C. Flammable
• D. Harmful or Fatal

Answer: (D)

Pictograms communicate danger at a glance, and the one with the skull and crossbones signals acute toxicity. This symbol means the substance can cause death or serious harm if it is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed, even in small amounts, so it’s described as harmful or fatal. Other symbols point to different hazards—radiation for radioactive materials, the biohazard sign for biological risks, and a flame for flammable substances—so they don’t specifically convey the risk of fatal toxicity.
