  2. Strong packages always make segregation unnecessary
  3. Strong packages can still leak in a crash, and incompatible materials may intensify fire or reaction hazards
  4. Segregation applies only to rail cars

Answer: C — Strong packages can still leak in a crash, and incompatible materials may intensify fire or reaction hazards
