ATwist-on connectors may be used to facilitate a conductor splice.
BTwist-on connectors may be used for making joints in cables.
CTwist-on connectors may be used in enclosures as long as the insulating cap can be secured to prevent loosening due to vibration.
DTwist-on connectors may be used to extend the length of a circuit.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Twist-on connectors may be used in enclosures as long as the insulating cap can be secured to prevent loosening due to vibration. This is correct because 46 CFR Subchapter J allows the use of twist-on connectors in electrical enclosures, provided that the insulating cap can be secured to prevent the connector from loosening due to vibration. The regulation does not permit the use of twist-on connectors for splicing conductors, making cable joints, or extending the length of a circuit. The other answer choices are incorrect because they describe uses of twist-on connectors that are not permitted by the regulations.
