Question 751 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) asphyxiation. The use of carbon dioxide in an enclosed space can lead to asphyxiation, which is the main danger associated with it. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can displace oxygen in the air, leading to a lack of oxygen and resulting in suffocation. This is particularly dangerous in enclosed spaces where the carbon dioxide can accumulate and reduce the available oxygen for breathing. The other answer choices are incorrect because frostbite (A) is not a primary concern with carbon dioxide, skin burns (B) are not a common issue, and there is no explosive reaction (D) associated with the use of carbon dioxide in an enclosed space.
