  1. To promote safe hunting practices

  2. To ensure hunting laws are enforced

  3. To increase the number of hunters

The correct answer is: To promote safe hunting practices

The primary objective of hunter education is to promote safe hunting practices. This includes educating hunters on the proper handling and use of firearms, ethical hunting practices, and respecting hunting laws and regulations. Option B is incorrect because while enforcing hunting laws is important, it is not the primary goal of hunter education. Option C is incorrect because while increasing the number of hunters may support hunting industries, it is not the primary objective of hunter education. Option D is incorrect because hunter education aims to ensure sustainable hunting practices, not decrease wildlife populations.
