Both statements are correct. A solid that ignites spontaneously is considered a hazardous material due to its inherent danger of causing fires or explosions without external ignition sources. Similarly, a liquid with a flash point below 140°F (60°C) is considered a hazardous material because it can easily ignite at relatively low temperatures, posing significant risks during handling and storage.
