Under what condition, if any, may a pilot allow a person who is obviously under the influence of drugs to be carried aboard an aircraft?

A

In an emergency or if the person is a medical patient under proper care.✓ Correct Answer

B

Only if the person does not have access to the cockpit or pilot's compartment.

C

Under no condition.

Explanation

14 CFR 91.17(b) says that, except in an emergency, no pilot may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs (except a medical patient under proper care) to be carried in the aircraft. Denying cockpit access is not an exception, and there are exceptions, so 'under no condition' is wrong.
