If the action to avoid collision is not positive or not made in ample time, it is

• A. Permissible
• B. Mandatory
• C. Insufficient
• D. Effective

Answer: (C)

In avoiding collision, actions must be positive and taken with ample time. If the maneuver to avoid collision isn’t carried out in a positive way or isn’t done early enough, it doesn’t meet the required standard to prevent a collision. That makes it insufficient to avoid the danger. It isn’t merely permissible or mandatory, because it fails to satisfy what is required to avert a collision, and it isn’t effective because it doesn’t actually achieve the goal. So the term that best fits is insufficient.
