  1. Test

  2. Time

  3. True

  4. Track

The correct answer is: True

The rule of safety - "Treat every firearm as if it were loaded" is a fundamental principle of responsible gun ownership. The 'T' stands for 'true' as a reminder to always handle every firearm with the utmost caution and respect, regardless of whether you think it is unloaded or not. Option A and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the rule and may lead to careless handling of firearms. Option B is also incorrect as it does not pertain to firearm safety and is not a part of the rule.
