B

Explanation

49 CFR 830.5(a) lists serious incidents requiring immediate notification of the NTSB, and the first is a flight control system malfunction or failure. A forced landing after engine failure with no substantial damage or injury is not on the list, and landing gear damage is excluded from the definition of substantial damage.
