Final answer:

The 'Other Toxic' and 'Dangerously Reactive' pictograms from WHMIS do not correspond to the NFPA 704 hazard diamond system and might have used different symbols and colors not described in the available options for this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 704 Hazard Identification System, often seen on containers of chemicals in a laboratory or workplace, uses a hazard diamond to communicate the dangers associated with a particular substance. The pictograms referred to as 'Other Toxic' and 'Dangerously Reactive' have evolved over time. However, traditionally, these do not directly correspond with the NFPA 704 system colors described. The WHMIS, or Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System in Canada, may have older pictograms representing these hazards but are not necessarily associated with colors mentioned in the options provided. Instead, they might have been represented with various symbols and colors that are distinct from the NFPA color-coded diamond.
