Where can carbon monoxide accumulate on a boat?

In open air
Only in the bilge
Cabin, bilge, or cockpit
Only in the water around the boat

The correct answer is: Cabin, bilge, or cockpit

Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can accumulate on boats when the engine or generator is running. It can build up in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area, such as the cabin, bilge, or cockpit. Option A, in open air, is incorrect because carbon monoxide is a gas and cannot accumulate in open spaces. Option B, only in the bilge, is incorrect because carbon monoxide can also accumulate in other areas of the boat. Option D, only in the water around the boat, is incorrect because this gas can build up within the boat's enclosed spaces and not just in the water. Knowing where carbon monoxide can accumulate is important for boaters to prevent accidental poisoning and stay safe on the water.
