A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

4-5Operational ProceduresModerate

A technician has a box of leaking lithium ion battery packs and the contaminated packaging they shipped in. Which safety data sheet section carries the disposal methods?

Section 13, disposal considerationsCorrect · your answerCorrect. That heading covers waste residues and the packaging they came in.
Section 7, handling and storageHandling and storage tells you how to keep the material safely while you still have it.
Section 6, accidental release measuresAccidental release measures cover the spill itself, the containment and the cleanup, not what happens to the drum afterwards.
Section 15, regulatory informationRegulatory information lists the rules that apply to the product, without describing what to do with the residue.

Correct.

Concept

A safety data sheet is organised by question, not by chemical. Each numbered heading answers one thing, and the sheet is useful only if you know which heading covers waste, which covers storage, and which covers exposure limits.

Why A

Section 13 describes waste residues and methods of disposal, and it names contaminated packaging explicitly. It is the one heading that tells a technician how the leftover material and its container are meant to leave the building.
