3 locations.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Sixteen required locations minus thirteen installed locations leaves three open locations.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 1 location.

1 location. is below the supported result for fall protection; it likely drops a required step.

Option B: 2 locations.

2 locations. is below the supported result for fall protection; it likely drops a required step.

Option C: 4 locations.

4 locations. is above the supported result for fall protection; it likely adds a step the rule does not support.
