Question 1118 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) in contact with the fill opening to guard against static spark. The nozzle of a gasoline hose or can should be kept in contact with the fill opening to guard against the buildup of static electricity, which could potentially ignite the gasoline vapors. This is a safety measure to prevent static discharge and the risk of fire or explosion. Option A is incorrect because keeping the nozzle in contact does not allow for proper venting. Option B is incorrect because making contact is the recommended practice, not avoiding contact. Option D is incorrect because C is the right answer.
