Which areas are off-limits to recruits?

B is the correct choice because recruits are typically restricted from accessing certain areas to maintain order, security, and focus during their training. This includes the headquarters and the surrounding areas, as well as other designated locations outlined in the Academy Floor Plan. These off-limits areas are often critical for the functioning of the Academy or may contain sensitive information, ensuring that recruits concentrate fully on their training without distractions or exposure to unauthorized environments.

In contrast, residential areas, all outdoor areas, and facilities like the gymnasium may have varying levels of accessibility depending on the training schedule and specific regulations, but they are not universally designated as off-limits as a part of standard training protocols. Thus, the emphasis on restricting access to designated areas, including headquarters, is key to maintaining a structured and secure training environment for law enforcement recruits.
