  1. Never

  2. When hunting waterfowl

  3. During target practice only

  4. If wearing protective eyewear

The correct answer is: Never

It is never safe to shoot a firearm at a flat, hard surface or water.

This risk applies regardless of the type of firearm being used or the reason for shooting. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Never.
