What should be done with gas cylinders and tanks on a boat?

  1. Stored in any available space

  2. Kept in a secure, well-ventilated area

  3. Checked for leaks daily

  4. Used as seating

The correct answer is: Kept in a secure, well-ventilated area

Gas cylinders and tanks should always be kept in a secure, well-ventilated area because they can be hazardous if not properly stored. Storing them in any available space (option A) could lead to accidental punctures or damage to the tank. Checking for leaks daily (option C) is important, but this alone does not address the issue of proper storage. Using gas cylinders and tanks as seating (option D) is highly dangerous and should never be done. So, the best choice is option B as it provides a safe and secure place for these potentially hazardous materials.
