What constitutes dangerous operation of a vessel?

Operating during bad weather only
Having a valid boating license
Not having enough life jackets onboard
Operating in a manner dangerous to the public considering all circumstances

The correct answer is: Operating in a manner dangerous to the public considering all circumstances

Dangerous operation of a vessel is not limited to just operating during bad weather or not having enough life jackets onboard. While those may be unsafe practices, it does not necessarily constitute as dangerous operation. On the other hand, having a valid boating license does not necessarily guarantee safe operation of a vessel. Option D is the most accurate answer as it takes into consideration all circumstances and how the operation may impact the safety of the public.
