Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Technician A is correct because cast spoke wheels for heavy-duty trucks indeed come in various spoke counts, including 3, 4, or 6 spokes, to accommodate different load capacities and applications. Technician B is also correct because a cast spoke wheel with 6 spokes is designed to handle heavier loads, making it suitable for heavily loaded front axles where more support and strength are needed.
