Call the Automated Flight Service Station.
B
In the Chart Supplements U.S.✓ Correct Answer
C
In the NOTAMs during your preflight briefing.
Explanation
Airport surface hot spots are published by the FAA in the Chart Supplement, which lists each hot spot with a description, and are also depicted on airport diagrams. They are a permanent charted feature, so you look them up in the Chart Supplement during planning; they are not normally NOTAM items and Flight Service is not the source.
