A feeder supplies a panel in a separate building and includes an equipment-grounding conductor. How should the downstream panel normally be arranged?

AOmit the equipment-grounding conductor
Isolate neutral; bond grounds to the enclosure
CUse the neutral as the grounding electrode conductor
DBond neutral and ground together in the panel

Why B is correct

With an equipment-grounding conductor run with the feeder, the grounded conductor normally stays isolated at the downstream building disconnect or panel while equipment grounds bond exposed metal. Rebonding creates parallel neutral-current paths.
