Correct answer
D. You may not drive after accumulating 60 hours on duty in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days, depending on the carrier's operation
Why
The weekly rule caps total on-duty time, not just driving time, over a rolling 7- or 8-day period. Which version applies depends on whether the carrier operates every day of the week.
