  3. 10 minutes

  4. 15 minutes

The correct answer is: 10 minutes

Category II airports are those that serve air carriers that conduct operations in aircraft designed for more than 60 passengers and in which the largest aircraft is designed for more than 60 passengers. For these airports, the required time for law enforcement officers to respond to a criminal situation at the screening point is 10 minutes.

It is also not 1 minute (option B) as that is too short of a time frame for a law enforcement response. And it is not 15 minutes (option D) as that is the required time for Category III airports, which serve air carriers that conduct operations in aircraft designed for more than 60 passengers and in which approach category for the largest aircraft is BIII. Therefore,
