Answer:

At the shipper's dock when it already has the 100 cartons of battery acid, 100 pounds of dry silver cyanide should not be loaded together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dry silver cyanide and battery acid are list of products that has been restricted from taking together while travelling because of safety reasons. This has been already present in the "Do not load" division 6.1 i.e. materials such as silver cyanide cannot be loaded with acid or any other corrosive material which could react to make hydrocyanic acid. As hydocyanic acid is an oxidant and would be an agent that help in igniting combustibles like wood, paper oil and clothing.
