Which of the following is listed as a reason the BOSC card may not work?

• A. If the card is not activated
• B. If the card is activated
• C. If there is a new card activation processed but not tagged on gate for autoload
• D. If the card is a parking card only

Answer: (A)

Activation is what allows a BOSC card to be recognized by the system. If the card hasn't been activated, the gate reader cannot authenticate it, so the card won't work at all. Once a card is activated, it becomes valid in the system, so the failure is specifically tied to not having activation. Other possibilities—processing a new activation but not tagging the gate for autoload, or using a parking-only card—affect autoload or feature scope rather than the card’s basic ability to function once activated.
