The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked in the trunk

The correct answer is A. When transporting a firearm through Rhode Island to another state where the person is permitted to carry it, it is required that the firearm must be unloaded and locked in the trunk. This practice ensures safety and compliance with state regulations regarding the transportation of firearms.

Option C is incorrect as there are specific requirements to adhere to when transporting a firearm through Rhode Island, even if the person is just passing through. Option D is incorrect as there is no requirement to notify Rhode Island authorities in advance when transporting a firearm through the state as long as it is done following the appropriate guidelines.
