Final answer:
The driver should not be denied access based solely on not having an AVOP. Having a purple RAIC and temporary photo access ID indicate certain security clearances.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The driver should not be denied access simply because they do not have an AVOP. Having a purple RAIC (Restricted Area Identity Card) and a temporary photo access ID indicates that the driver has met certain security requirements and has been granted access to certain restricted areas. These credentials are separate from an AVOP, which is specifically related to operating a vehicle in the airside area of an airport.
Additionally, the question states that AVOP is possessed by the passenger, not the driver. This means that the passenger is authorized to operate a vehicle in the airside area of the airport, but it does not automatically mean that the driver should be denied access.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) No, and they are not mutually exclusive either.
