Dso that the obstruction of your body will protect you from the fumes
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) at a right angle to the wind direction. When checking the level of a volatile liquid in a tank, you should position yourself at a right angle to the wind direction. This is to avoid being directly exposed to the fumes, which could be hazardous if they are blowing towards you. Positioning yourself at a right angle to the wind ensures that you are not in the direct path of the fumes, reducing the risk of exposure. The other options, such as being on the windward or leeward side, would not provide the same level of protection from the fumes.
