Answer:d. Neither Technician A nor B

Explanation: A dual stage airbag is an airbag containing two inflators placed inside a single airbag, this type of air is usually installed on the driver's side to protect him incase of accidents.

It is not safe to install a deployed airbag no matter what stage of deployment it is, the risk is high for both the driver and other occupants.

It is better and safer to use a new airbag, the speed of the vehicle does not cause a new airbag to ignite under normal circumstances.
