A

are instrumental in decreasing flightcrew fatigue.

B

have proven to increase safety in operations.

C

may lead to complacency by the flightcrew.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

The lower workload of glass cockpits can lead flight crews to become complacent, monitoring less actively, which the FAA's Advanced Avionics Handbook identifies as a key risk. Reduced fatigue and improved safety are not guaranteed outcomes of a lighter workload.
