70% to pass

On small passenger vessels all connections to electrical conductors MUST be _______________.

A made within enclosures
B inspected annually by the Coast Guard
C served and parceled with the lay, turned and wormed the other way
D installed only by a licensed marine electrician
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) made within enclosures. The reason this is the correct answer is that under US Coast Guard regulations, all connections to electrical conductors on small passenger vessels must be made within enclosures. This is a safety requirement to protect the connections from damage or accidental contact, which could lead to electrical hazards or fires. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not address the specific requirement for electrical connections to be made within enclosures. Options B, C, and D describe other electrical installation or inspection practices, but do not specifically address the requirement for connections to be enclosed.
