Where in a home is it generally recommended to install a carbon monoxide (CO) detector?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It's crucial to have detectors on every level of the home, especially near sleeping areas, so occupants can be alerted even while asleep. CO mixes evenly with air, so proximity to windows or direct exhaust isn't the primary concern, but rather detection throughout the living spaces. Installing it in the garage might trigger false alarms and doesn't protect the living areas where people sleep.
