Question

there are four main causes of hunting incidents. which cause is most likely to lead to accidental discharges and stray shots? a ignoring firearm safety rules b lack of control and practice c judgment mistakes d mechanical failure

Explanation:

Ignoring firearm safety rules directly affects how a firearm is handled. When safety rules (like keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, not putting a finger on the trigger until ready to shoot) are ignored, it's very likely to cause accidental discharges (e.g., a finger on the trigger accidentally pulling it) and stray shots (if the firearm is pointed in an unsafe direction when discharged). Lack of control and practice might lead to less - accurate shooting but not as directly to accidental discharges as ignoring safety rules. Judgment mistakes could be about target identification rather than the act of discharge. Mechanical failure is a less common cause compared to human - error related to ignoring safety rules.

Answer:

A. ignoring firearm safety rules
