• A. Additional line 1
• B. Additional line 3
• C. Additional line 4
• D. Additional line 2

Answer: (D)

Extending authority on an active Form D is allowed only if you’re not introducing new trains or track cars into the area being added. Form D divides movement into lines, and you can add authority only to a line that currently has no traffic authorized to operate there. In this scenario, the line that fits that condition is the one designated as Additional line 2. So the dispatcher can direct adding authorities to the Form D for that line, provided no new trains or track cars have been authorized to operate within it. The other lines wouldn’t fit because there would already be traffic or the addition could create conflicts with existing movements.
