A
landing.
B
taxiing and takeoff.✓ Correct Answer
C
taxiing and landing.
Explanation
Area A on Figure 48 is the paved runway section before Runway 12's threshold, marked with white arrows along the centerline and arrowheads ahead of the threshold bar. That is a displaced threshold. Per AIM 2-3-3 and PHAK Ch. 14, the pavement behind a displaced threshold is available for taxiing and for takeoffs in either direction. An aircraft landing on Runway 12 may not touch down there; only the rollout of an aircraft landing in the opposite direction may use it. So it is correctly described as usable for taxiing and takeoff, not for landing.
