  2. With the muzzle pointing downwards

  3. With the firearm's safety on

  4. In a case

The correct answer is: With the muzzle pointing upwards

When hunting in a group, it is important to prioritize safety for yourself and those around you. Carrying a firearm with the muzzle pointing upwards is the safest way because it ensures that the muzzle is elevated and not pointing at anyone in the group, reducing the risk of accidental injury. This practice also allows for a clear line of sight for the hunter and others to safely maneuver through the hunting area. Remember, firearm safety is crucial in all hunting situations to prevent accidents and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
