  3. The type of game

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Before shooting, it is essential for a hunter to positively identify both their target and what is in front of it as well as what is beyond it. It is crucial to know what you are aiming at and also to be aware of what lies in the line of fire and what might be in the vicinity beyond the target. This practice ensures the safety of others and prevents accidental injury or fatalities. It is important to have a clear view and understanding of the entire shooting situation before taking any shots, which is why option D is the correct choice.
