If Air Traffic Control advises that radar service is terminated when the pilot is departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code
A
0000.
B
1200.✓ Correct Answer
C
4096.
Explanation
AIM 4-1-20 says that when radar service is terminated for a VFR flight, pilots squawk the VFR code 1200 unless ATC assigns another. Code 0000 should not be used and 4096 is not a valid four-digit transponder code (each digit only goes from 0 to 7).
