According to Alabama law, what age person who has boater safety certification may operate a personal watercraft without supervision?

  1. 12 years of age

  2. 14 years of age

  3. 16 years of age

  4. 18 years of age

The correct answer is: 14 years of age

In Alabama, individuals who are 12 or 14 years of age must have a boater safety certification to operate a personal watercraft (either option could be correct in a different state). However, only individuals who are 14 years of age or older with boater safety certification are allowed to operate a personal watercraft without adult supervision. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect as they do not specify the need for boater safety certification. Option D is also incorrect as it states the minimum age for operating a personal watercraft without certification is 18 years. Only option B specifies the correct minimum age and requirement for boater safety certification according to Alabama law.
