Answer:

B. Technician B

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement made by Technician A is not right because for an RWD vehicles, its front bearing assembly is not used for sustaining the bearing adjustment. The statement made by the Technician B is right because the main reason for staking the bearing assembly of the wheel of a FWD vehicle is to ensure that the torque is at a specific value. Thus, only Technician B is correct.
