Answer:

C. Both Techs A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

For voltage drop to be measured in the circuit, then there must be a voltage in the circuit. Once there is a voltage across the circuit, there will be current flowing through the the circuit, hence technician A is correct. Voltage drop is usually measured across components in the circuit. Components in a circuit are consumptive in the circuit, hence their is usually a voltage drop when current flows through them in a circuit. Technician B is correct.
