Correct answer to question 95 (Hazardous Materials): Treat it as unapproved for the material until its rating can be confirmed

Why

Without a marking to confirm what the container is rated for, there's no way to know it's actually safe for the material, so the responsible assumption is that it isn't approved until proven otherwise.
