Correct answer to question 60 (Hazardous Materials): Loads that are highly toxic, flammable, or explosive, since a tunnel incident with them is especially hard to escape or contain

Why

A tunnel offers little room to evacuate or ventilate, so the loads restricted most heavily are the ones whose worst-case outcome, fire, explosion, or toxic release, would be hardest to survive there.
