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.
