According to ANSI/IEEE C37.

The correct answer isBbecause ANSI and IEEE requirements for control wiring that passes across hinged doors or panels in metal-enclosed switchgear emphasizemechanical flexibility, proper looping, securement, and suitable conductor stranding, not installation in a flexible non-metallic conduit with a separate grounding conductor as described in option B. The standard intent is to ensure that repeated opening and closing of doors does not damage the conductor strands or insulation, and that stress is not transmitted beyond the supported points. That is why optionsAandCreflect accepted requirements: the wiring must be flexible enough for repeated motion and arranged in a formed loop with proper securement. OptionDis also consistent with switchgear wiring practice, where conductor size and stranding class are specified to provide durability under mechanical movement.

OptionBadds conditions that are not the stated requirement for wiring across a hinge in ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2. In source inspection, this distinction matters because inspectors must verify wiring methods against the actual standard requirement rather than accept added but non-required installation details.
