  2. The area where firearms are safely discharged during hunting

  4. The section of a hunting area that is designated for camping and fires

The correct answer is: The area a hunter can safely shoot, limited by the natural environment and safety considerations

Field of fire refers to the area in which a hunter can safely shoot their firearm. Option A is incorrect because a field of fire is not created by intentionally setting an area on fire. Option B is incorrect because a field of fire is not limited to just where firearms are safely discharged but also includes other safety considerations such as natural environment obstacles. Option D is incorrect because a field of fire is not designated for camping and fires.
