B Correct answer
Explanation

Fueling operations must be stopped when a jet engine aircraft crosses within 43 meters due to the risk of fuel vapors being ingested by the engine or ignited by hot engine components. This safety distance prevents potential fire or explosion hazards during refueling. The 43m clearance ensures adequate separation between active engines and fueling equipment.
