Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only

A

when the weather minimums are below basic VFR.

B

when the associated control tower is in operation.✓ Correct Answer

C

when the associated Flight Service Station is in operation.

Explanation

AIM 3-2-5 explains that Class D airspace exists only while the associated control tower is in operation; when a part-time tower closes, the airspace reverts to Class E (or Class G), as shown in the Chart Supplement. The weather and the Flight Service Station have nothing to do with it.
