Answer options:
- Arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection. ✅ Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
- Surge protective device (SPD) protection.

Correct answer: Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
Explanation: CEC Rule 26-710(p) requires all 15 A and 20 A receptacles installed outdoors in a residential property to be protected by a Class A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). AFCI is typically for interior residential circuits, and SPD is not a mandatory protection for standard receptacles.
