Which statement about prohibited items is correct?

• A. Beverages are allowed during the exam.
• B. Reference materials, electronic devices, and food are prohibited.
• C. Food only is prohibited; others allowed.
• D. Only personal items are prohibited.

Answer: (B)

Prohibited items in the exam environment are any items that could give a test taker an unfair advantage or disrupt the testing process. The statement that reference materials, electronic devices, and food are prohibited aligns with typical exam security rules: you must not bring study aids, devices that could be used to access information, or food into the testing room. This helps ensure a fair, controlled environment and prevents the use of outside resources.

The other options propose allowances that aren’t consistent with that comprehensive policy—for example, claiming beverages are allowed, or that only one category is prohibited, or that only personal items are prohibited. Those imply exemptions that the standard policy does not permit.
