A dwelling dishwasher is rated 120 volts to ground and 15 amperes on a single-phase circuit. Under 2023 NEC 210.8(D), which statement applies?

Why A is correct
Dishwashers are included, and this appliance falls within the provision’s voltage and current limits. Protection applies to the supplying branch circuit or outlet; hardwiring and distance from the sink do not remove it. This provision does not mandate a circuit-breaker implementation as the only possible method. Source: https://captaincode2023.leviton.com/node/308
