  4. Cargo does not have to be secured unless there is a risk that it can move.
Explanation
Answer: B - Whenever cargo is being shipped, there should be at least two tie downs on the first 10 feet of the cargo and one tie down for every 10 feet after that. Cargo that is less than 10 feet long should always have at least two tie downs on it in case one breaks. No unsecured cargo should be shipped. A sudden stop or swerve could cause the cargo to shift or to fall off the vehicle.
