AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) not allow oily rags to accumulate in the space. Oily rags are a common fire hazard in paint lockers, as they can spontaneously combust if left to accumulate. Keeping the space free of oily rags is a simple precaution that can significantly reduce the risk of accidental fires. The other options, while potentially helpful, do not directly address the specific fire hazard posed by oily rags.
