What is the minimum age to operate a pleasure craft without supervision?

  1. 12 years old

  2. 15 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 18 years old

The correct answer is: 16 years old

The minimum age to operate a pleasure craft without supervision is 16 years old. This means that individuals who are 16 years old and above are legally allowed to operate a pleasure craft without the presence of an adult or a licensed boat operator. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum age requirement as stated by boat safety laws. Option A, which is 12 years old, is too young and may not possess the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate a pleasure craft. Option B, which is 15 years old, is also too young and may not meet the legal age requirement set by boating laws. Option D, which is 18 years old, is too old and may make the question confusing as the question is asking for the minimum age. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it best fits the criteria for the minimum age to operate a pleasure craft without supervision
