a.Bedrooms only
b.The living room
c.The attic
d.Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, laundry areas, and within 6 feet of a sink
Explanation
The Code requires GFCI protection for dwelling receptacles in wet or damp and higher-risk areas—bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, laundry areas, and near sinks. Bedrooms, the living room, or the attic are not the code-listed GFCI locations by themselves.
