Final answer:

Bleach can be classified under the white section of the NFPA 704 Hazard Identification System because it represents a special hazard as an oxidizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to which materials could be classified under the white section of the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 704 Hazard Identification System's marking system. The white part of the NFPA 704 diamond indicates special hazards such as if the material is an oxidizer, corrosive, or reacts dangerously with water, among other things.

Of the options provided, which are dynamite, corrosive, bleach, and ammonia, the one that would be classified under the white section is bleach. This is because household bleach (usually a solution of sodium hypochlorite) is an oxidizer, which means it can make other materials burn more readily in the absence of air or oxygen. This represents a special hazard that is indicated in the white section of the NFPA 704 diamond.
