According to Alabama boating law, which of these is considered a legal operation?

  1. Operating at more than 10mph in a 'no wake' zone

  2. Operating without a life jacket for each passenger

  3. Operating at less than 5mph in a 'slow, no wake' speed area

  4. Operating under the influence of alcohol

The correct answer is: Operating at less than 5mph in a 'slow, no wake' speed area

Operating at more than 10mph in a 'no wake' zone is not considered a legal operation because it exceeds the speed limit in a designated area, which can be potentially dangerous for other boats and individuals in the water. Operating without a life jacket for each passenger is also not considered a legal operation because it violates safety regulations and puts passengers at risk in case of an accident. Operating under the influence of alcohol is not considered a legal operation because it impairs judgment and reaction time, putting other boaters and passengers at risk of injury or death. On the other hand, operating at less than 5mph in a 'slow, no wake' speed area is considered a legal operation as it follows the designated speed limit and ensures safety for all individuals in the area.
