A
48 hours; commencing within 7 days after date of the injury.✓ Correct Answer
B
72 hours; commencing within 10 days after date of injury.
C
10 days, with no other extenuating circumstances.
Explanation
49 CFR 830.2 defines a serious injury as one that, among other criteria, requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the injury was received. The 72-hour/10-day and 10-day options are not in the definition.
