According to 46 CFR Subchapter T, where practicable carburetor drip collectors should drain to __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — the engine air intakes

46 CFR Subchapter T specifies that carburetor drip collectors should, where practicable, drain back into the engine air intake. This design ensures that any leaked fuel is safely consumed by the engine during operation rather than being discharged into the bilge, where it could pose a significant fire risk.
