The correct answer is C. As per BCAS norms, a random pat-down search is required for at least 01 in every 10 passengers during pre-embarkation security check.

This is a specific procedural requirement by BCAS to enhance security by introducing an element of unpredictability and secondary screening for a proportion of passengers, in addition to primary screening methods like metal detectors and body scanners.

The random pat-down search is a crucial layer of security to detect non-metallic items or items concealed in areas not fully covered by technology-based screening methods. The frequency is mandated by the regulator to ensure consistency across airports.
