Final answer:

The time when a 17-year-old with a license for 3 months can't transport minors is likely between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., referencing general graduated driver licensing laws, although specific state laws must be checked. However, the scenario presented suggests an exception in extreme emergencies, like a medical crisis at 4 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question regarding when you can't transport minors if you are 17 and have had your license for 3 months doesn't have a specific correct answer without additional context since the restrictions on transporting minors vary by state graduated driver licensing laws. However, using the information provided within the hypothetical rule and considering the general nature of many graduated licensing laws, it seems likely that the restriction time would be later in the evening. Therefore, while it is important to check the specific regulations of your state, the probable answer may be 3) Between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.. This is because most states with graduated licensing laws place nighttime restrictions on young drivers.

However, the given situation of a pregnant woman in urgent need of medical attention at 4 a.m. presents a scenario where going through the red light could be justified as producing more utility, as per Rule Utilitarianism (RU). This suggests there may be exceptions to traffic rules in extreme emergencies, underscoring the importance of discretion and moral reasoning in certain situations when operating a vehicle.
