Explanation:

1. “that one” is used to refer to a specific box over there. “which one” is a question form and not appropriate here. “this one” would refer to a closer box.
2. “The one” is the correct subject to refer to the specific takeout order. “Which one” is a question and “The ones” is plural.
3. “Which one” is used to ask about a specific truck among others. “This one” would refer to a closer truck and “The one” is more of an answer.
4. “Which ones” is used to ask about specific cleaning products (plural) that are dangerous. “That one” and “This one” are singular.
5. “that one” is used to refer to another specific chemical (singular). “which one” is a question and “the ones” is plural.

Answer:

1. B. that one
2. A. The one
3. A. Which one
