A Class A mishap is defined by which of the following conditions?

• A. Property damage of $1 million or more, or a fatality
• B. Property damage of $500,000 or more
• C. Injury that causes temporary restrictions
• D. Minor property damage under $100,000

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how mishap severity is classified by damage thresholds or fatalities. Class A is defined by very high consequences: property damage of $1,000,000 or more, or a fatality. That exact criterion is what the correct option reflects, so it identifies the most severe category.

Why the other options don’t fit: a measurement of $500,000 in property damage does not meet the $1,000,000 threshold for Class A and would fall into a lower class. An injury that causes temporary restrictions focuses on the injury itself rather than the monetary damage or a fatality, so it doesn’t define Class A. Minor property damage under $100,000 is well below the Class A threshold and also does not indicate the most severe category.
