Solution

The answer is b: Technician B.

Explanation:

Technician A is incorrect. It is not advisable to set things in front of the circuit breaker panel, even if they are movable. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that there be clear access to electrical panels to ensure safety and quick access in case of an emergency. Obstructions, even if movable, can delay access and create safety hazards.
Technician B is correct. It is important for all circuit breakers and fuses to be labeled. Proper labeling ensures that anyone needing to work on the electrical system can quickly identify which breaker or fuse controls which circuit, enhancing safety and efficiency.

In summary, Technician B is correct because labeling circuit breakers and fuses is a necessary safety practice, while Technician A's suggestion could lead to safety hazards.
