Which statement about SCP seating during boarding is accurate?

• A. SCP must be seated near exits, but not in exit rows
• B. SCP must be seated in the exit row
• C. SCP seating has no restrictions
• D. SCP should sit far from exits

Answer: (A)

SCPs should be placed where they can contribute to a swift evacuation if needed, so proximity to an exit is preferred. At the same time, exit-row seats have strict eligibility and responsibility requirements (the passenger must be able to operate the exit and understand safety instructions). Balancing these points, the most accurate statement is that SCP must be seated near exits, but not in the exit row. This keeps evacuation support readily available while avoiding the restrictions and duties that come with exit-row seating.

Sitting in the exit row is not appropriate for everyone because it demands the ability to assist in an emergency and comply with exit-row rules. Saying there are no restrictions or that they should sit far from exits would undermine safety goals, and claiming no special seating requirements would be inaccurate.
