☑ Explanation: The statement "Cargo is considered fully contained if it is placed against a
vehicle structure or other cargo" is the definition of fully contained cargo, not a false statement.
The false statement would be that cargo is considered fully contained if it is not immobilized,
but the question asks which statement is FALSE, and Option D is actually true. However, based
on the source, the false statement is that cargo is considered fully contained if it is immobilized
on or within a vehicle so that it cannot shift or tip—that is actually the correct definition, so the
false statement would be something else not listed.
