5. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
- (A) Minimum turning radius of aircrafts decides the size of the apron and the radius of the curves at taxi-ends
- (B) Take off and landing distances for an aircraft, determine the minimum runway length
- (C) The length of the normal haul of the air craft decides the frequency of operation
- (D) All the above
