Explanation:

To determine the best step for home safety:

• "Ensure firearms are locked": While important, not all homes have firearms, so less universal.
• "Store medicine on a bottom cabinet shelf": Unsafe as children can reach; medicine should be high/locked.
• "Test to see whether a carbon monoxide detector works": Carbon monoxide is invisible/odorless, a working detector prevents poisoning, a key home safety measure.
• "Transfer all chemicals to new, unlabeled containers": Unsafe (losing labels risks misidentification).

Answer:

C. Test to see whether a carbon monoxide detector works.
