Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Technician B is correct because the reflective tape is indeed known as conspicuity tape, which is used to increase a vehicle's visibility. Technician A is incorrect because the NHTSA requires this tape to be placed not at 6 feet above road level but rather at a lower level, typically around the bottom edges of the trailer, to enhance visibility and safety at night.
