For the safest and most accurate shot, a hunter shooting a rifle in the field should

  1. Yell before shooting

  2. Shoot from prone position with a rest

  3. Jump while shooting

  4. Shoot without aiming

The correct answer is: Shoot from prone position with a rest

Hunters should always prioritize safety while shooting, so options A, C, and D are immediately incorrect. Yelling before shooting can startle others and may result in accidents. Jumping while shooting can be dangerous and make it difficult to aim properly. Shooting without aiming is irresponsible and can result in inaccurate and possibly dangerous shots. Therefore, option B, shooting from a prone position using a stable rest, is the safest and most accurate technique for shooting a rifle in the field. This allows the hunter to have better control and aim of the rifle, minimizing the risk of accidents or missed shots.
