What factors determine if a boat's speed is safe?

  1. The type of boat only

  2. The color of the boat

  3. Number of passengers

  4. Visibility conditions

The correct answer is: Visibility conditions

Factors such as the type of boat, color, and number of passengers do not solely determine if a boat's speed is safe. However, visibility conditions greatly affect a boat's speed in terms of safety as it determines the visibility of potential hazards and obstacles in the water. This includes factors like weather, time of day, and any obstructions in the water. Therefore, D is the most important factor in determining a safe boat speed.
