a hose is connected to a faucet to fill a bucket, then left submerged in the bucket while it fills. this is a risk to the water supply because
a a cross - connection can be created
b the bucket may overflow
c an air gap has been created
d the flood rim is compromised

Explanation:

When a hose connected to a potable water faucet is left submerged in a bucket of water, it creates a cross-connection. This allows non-potable water (or contaminated water in the bucket) to flow back into the clean water supply if there is a pressure drop in the main line, posing a contamination risk. The other options are incorrect: overflow is a spill issue, not a water supply risk; an air gap would prevent this risk, not be created by this action; a flood rim compromise is unrelated to this scenario.

Answer:

a. A cross-connection can be created
