All choices

- CThe nature of the cargo makes a stop mandatory under the State or Federal regulations.
Why the other answers are wrong
A. There is no flagman, warning signals or gate at the crossing.

B. The crossing is in the city or town with frequent train transit.
Choice B is wrong because the location or frequency of train transit does not alone require a full stop.
