AThe reading is acceptable; NEC does not specify a maximum resistance for equipment bonding continuity
BThe reading exceeds the 0.1-ohm NEC maximum and the bond must be re-made
CThe reading exceeds the 0.25-ohm NEC maximum and the bond must be re-made
DThe reading is unacceptable only if the system voltage exceeds 1000 V
✓ Correct answer: A. The reading is acceptable; NEC does not specify a maximum resistance for equipment bonding continuityNEC Article 250 does not impose a specific maximum ohmic value for equipment bonding continuity; the requirement is a 'permanent and effective' low-impedance path. The test verifies conductivity, and acceptance criteria come from the commissioning specification or industry practice rather than a single NEC number.
