The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Antonio is a silversmith and works with various metals. At the end of the day, he reclaims and separates each metal by using an inexpensive toxic acid though other methods are available. The risk of fire as well as health dangers to Antonio is unknown. What should Antonio do? A) Dispose of the used acid by pouring it down the drain since the government will take care of any environmental issues that come from polluting the water. B) Get a fire insurance policy and make sure to visit the doctor regularly. C) Switch to another potentially less dangerous method of separating each metal. D) Pour it out in back of the studio in the gutter.

Answer:

C) Switch to another potentially less dangerous method of separating each metal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The importance of safety in manufacturing processes can not be over emphasized. Clearly, Antonio's method of separating each metal holds the potential of a fire outbreak or causing major health problem for Antonio.

The best thing that Antonio can do is to explore other less potentially dangerous methods of separating each metal since there are other available and possibly safer methods of achieving the same end.
