California C-10 exam practice question · Finish Wiring & Trim

A decorative luminaire weighs more than the outlet box's marked support rating. What finish-work change is required?

  • ASuspend it from branch-circuit conductors for the described C-10 installation and documented operating conditions
  • Provide a box or independent support system listed for the actual weight
  • CUse longer cover-plate screws
  • DRemove the equipment ground to make room

Why B is correct

The best answer is: Provide a box or independent support system listed for the actual weight. The luminaire load must be carried by an appropriately rated box or support. Conductors and ordinary device screws are not structural supports, and removing grounding creates a shock hazard. This transferred field condition tests the same installation or safety principle in a different project context. The other choices conflict with the cited rule, listing, safe-work process, or necessary diagnostic sequence.
