Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning**
This is a straightforward **vocabulary and classification question** about modes of transportation. Each transportation method has a specific name for the cargo it carries:
- **Aircraft** (planes) carry goods → **Air freight**
- Ships carry goods → **Sea freight**
- Trains carry goods → **Rail freight**
- Pipelines carry liquids/gases → **Pipeline transport**
The question asks what cargo carried *by aircraft* is called. Aircraft use air as their medium of transport, so goods transported this way are called **air freight**.
**Why the wrong options tempt you**
- **A (Sea freight)** might catch you if you're thinking generally about "freight" but forget the transport mode specified
- **B (Rail freight)** could trip you if you're not carefully reading "aircraft"
- **D (Pipelines)** doesn't even carry packaged cargo like aircraft do—it's for liquids and gases only
**Quick takeaway**
Match the transport method to its freight name: aircraft = **air** freight, ships = **sea** freight, trains = **rail** freight. The vehicle tells you the answer.
