What might cause a shotgun to explode?

  1. Regular maintenance

  2. Using the wrong shotshell

  3. Using branded shotgun shells only

  4. Shooting in wet conditions

The correct answer is: Using the wrong shotshell

If a shotgun was used continuously and never cleaned or maintained, over time it could cause malfunction or possibly exploding. Using branded shotgun shells only is a good practice, but it won't necessarily prevent a shotgun from exploding if the wrong shotshell is used. Shooting in wet conditions may cause moisture to buildup in a shotgun, but it's not the main cause of an explosion. The main cause of a shotgun exploding is using the wrong shotshell, which could be too powerful for the firearm and cause it to malfunction and potentially explode. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
