What is the importance of ignition protection on a boat?

  1. Increases fuel efficiency

  2. Prevents sparks from igniting gasoline or propane fumes

  3. Makes the boat go faster

  4. Reduces water resistance

The correct answer is: Prevents sparks from igniting gasoline or propane fumes

Ignition protection on a boat is crucial for safety reasons. Allowing sparks to ignite gasoline or propane fumes can potentially lead to a fire or explosion. While options A, C, and D may all have some impact on the performance of a boat, they are not directly related to the importance of ignition protection. Therefore, B is the most correct choice for this question.
