Which of these substances would most likely NOT be a hazardous material?

Lead batteries
Cooking oil
Chlorine bleach
Mercury thermometers

The correct answer is: Cooking oil

Cooking oil is generally considered to be the substance that would most likely not be classified as a hazardous material among the options provided. Unlike substances such as lead batteries, chlorine bleach, and mercury thermometers, cooking oil is typically safe for household use and is not toxic in nature. While cooking oil can pose some environmental risks if disposed of improperly and may become hazardous in large quantities (potentially leading to fire hazards), it is not classified as a hazardous material under most regulatory frameworks. On the other hand, lead batteries, chlorine bleach, and mercury thermometers contain substances that are toxic, reactive, or environmentally harmful, making them hazardous materials that require careful handling and disposal.
