Answer»

Right choice is (c) to be exposed to air

The explanation is: Because batteries emit HYDROGEN gas while charging, the battery case cannot be completely sealed. Years ago there was a vent cap for each cell and we had to REPLENISH the CELLS when the electrolyte evaporated. Today’s batteries (maintenance free) have small vents on the side of the battery; the gases emitted have to GO through baffles to escape.
