• C. Inspection and reinspection requirements, sampling and inspection procedures, lab approval process, accredited and non accredited training programs, clearance air testing, management plan requirements, notification requirements.
• D. Clearance air testing and management plan requirements only.

Answer: (C)

Key concept: AHERA requires a comprehensive framework for managing asbestos in schools, covering assessment, procedures, labs, training, verification, planning, and communication. The correct statement lists all seven components: inspection and reinspection requirements, sampling and inspection procedures, lab approval process, accredited and non-accredited training programs, clearance air testing, management plan requirements, and notification requirements. Each element plays a distinct role—from identifying and rechecking asbestos-containing materials, to how samples are collected and analyzed by approved labs, to ensuring workers receive proper training, verifying cleanup with air clearance tests, establishing a formal management plan, and keeping staff, students, and parents informed. The other options leave out one or more of these essential parts, making them incomplete.
