DAL assets are the ones that are currently protected.

• A. CAL assets are nominated for protection
• B. DAL assets are currently protected
• C. CAL assets are currently protected
• D. DAL assets are nominated for protection

Answer: (B)

The key idea is the status of protection. In this framework, assets are divided into two groups: DAL and CAL. DAL represents assets that are actively protected right now, while CAL represents assets that have been identified or nominated for protection but aren’t yet in the active protection state. Therefore the statement that DAL assets are the ones currently protected aligns with how these categories are defined. The other options describe CAL as the protected set or mix DAL with nomination, which do not match the actual status of DAL. Think of DAL as the live protection list and CAL as the proposed protection list.
