The correct answer is C. The prescribed minimum throughput for an In-line Hold Baggage System (HBS) in major airports, as per BCAS guidelines, is typically 1200 bags per hour.
The In-line HBS is an automated system for screening checked baggage for explosives and other prohibited items. A high throughput is necessary to handle the volume of baggage processed at busy airports without causing delays.
The required throughput can vary slightly based on the category and volume of traffic at a specific airport, but 1200 bags/hour is a common minimum standard for ensuring efficient and effective baggage screening operations at medium to large airports.
