For minimizing seasickness, what is advised about one's location on the boat?

  1. Stay in the lower decks

  2. Remain in an enclosed cabin

  3. Stay on deck in the fresh air

  4. Keep moving around the boat

The correct answer is: Stay on deck in the fresh air

It is advised to stay on deck in the fresh air for minimizing seasickness. The other options are incorrect because staying in the lower decks or remaining in an enclosed cabin can actually worsen seasickness, as there is less airflow and the boat's movements are felt more strongly. Similarly, constantly moving around the boat can also exacerbate seasickness, as it can lead to disorientation and dizziness. Therefore, staying on deck in the fresh air provides the best chance of reducing symptoms of seasickness.
