B. Proceed at 10 MPH and a report must be made promptly to the dispatcherExplanation
In a scenario where there is a 3-inch size flat spot, it is not safe to proceed at normal speed as it can cause further damage to the vehicle and potentially lead to an accident. Remaining stopped is also not a suitable option as it would cause unnecessary delays. Therefore, the correct restriction or speed would be to proceed at 10 MPH and make a report promptly to the dispatcher. This allows for cautious movement while ensuring that the necessary information is communicated to the appropriate authority.Rate this question:

If a flat spot of 4 inches or greater is found on a train, the train must remain stopped until a report is made to the dispatcher.
