Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Neither Technician A nor Technician B is correct because critical parts should be torqued with a torque wrench to ensure the correct amount of torque is applied, preventing over-tightening or under-tightening. Impact wrenches and air ratchets do not provide precise torque control.
