To prevent accidental poisoning in a home with children or pets, how should hazardous household chemicals (e.g., cleaners, pesticides) be stored?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Hazardous chemicals should always be stored in their original, labeled containers to ensure proper identification. A high, locked cabinet (B) is crucial to keep them out of reach and sight of children and pets, preventing accidental ingestion or exposure. Storing on open shelves (A) or under the sink (D) makes them accessible. Pouring into unlabeled beverage bottles (C) is extremely dangerous as it can be mistaken for drinks.
