Answer (2)

The color of a compressed gas cylinder is not a reliable indicator of its contents because colors are not standardized and are selected by individual companies. Each company may have its own distinct color-coding system, making it difficult to identify gas types visually. Therefore, options B and C correctly explain why colors cannot be relied upon for identification. ;
