Question 669 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) All of the above. All of the listed items - loose wiring, an open and running motor, and static electricity - can potentially ignite fuel vapors, which is a serious fire hazard on vessels. Loose wiring can create sparks, an open and running motor can generate high temperatures, and static electricity buildup can discharge and ignite flammable vapors. Coast Guard regulations require strict control of ignition sources on vessels to prevent fuel vapor explosions and fires. The other options are incorrect because they do not capture the full range of potential ignition sources that must be properly managed.
