Answer:

Technician B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The drop center is used to remove and reinstall the tire on the rim therefore Technician B is very correct

The center of the rim is usually lower than the outer edges during construction and the purpose is to enables the pushing in of the tire bead during installation of the tires on the rim.
