The commodity is class III - A5.6.3 Miscellaneous, however the reinforced plastic pallets raise it two levels - 5.6.2.3. So, d. Group A Plastic

It would be D because the commodity class for charcoal w/o any impregnated ignition fluid or plastic wrap would be Class III, but when you put it on reinforced plastic pallets it would increase by two classes to cartoned unexpanded Group A plastics. (NFPA 13 2016 section 5.6.2.3)
