a removing the rear swim step
b using low octane fuel
c sitting near the stern of the vessel
d regular vessel maintenance
previous next

Explanation:

• Removing the rear swim step does not reduce carbon monoxide poisoning risk.
• Using low - octane fuel is not related to reducing carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Sitting near the stern (where engines may emit carbon monoxide) increases risk.
• Regular vessel maintenance ensures proper engine function. A well - maintained engine is less likely to produce excessive carbon monoxide due to issues like incomplete combustion.

Answer:

D. Regular vessel maintenance
