What conditions would cause an Air Traffic Controller to issue you a Safety Alert?

B

When the aircraft altitude places it in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.✓ Correct Answer

C

When they have implemented a temporary reduction in approach control separation minimums.

Explanation

AIM 4-1-16 says a safety alert is issued when ATC becomes aware that an aircraft is at an altitude that places it in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions or other aircraft. Unstable approaches and separation changes are not safety alert triggers.
