Why This Is the Correct Answer

Eight hours after 9:30 a.m. is 5:30 p.m.; reporting should be made as soon as practically possible.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

6:30 p.m. is above the supported result for serious injury reporting; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: 9:30 p.m.

9:30 p.m. is above the supported result for serious injury reporting; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
