Thats all i could think of. I couldn't find that wording in the code. The test proctor emphasized specific wording.

Using the search function on Link, the only place "specific installations" appears in the 2023 NEC is 230.42(B).

(B) Specific Installations.
In addition to the requirements of 230.42(A), the minimum ampacity for ungrounded conductors for specific installations shall not be less than the rating of the service disconnecting means specified in 230.79(A) through (D).

Hmmm maybe that is it. Test is based on 2008 believe it or not, let me look and see if that wording is in there. Kinda a bad test question as there was no mention on what type of conductors they are.

That wording is also in the 2008, and going from memory exactly matches the text on the test question. What a BS question, just giving a wording snippet like that.
