AA. Intact and undisturbed
BB. Friable — crumbling or easily broken, releasing fibers into the air✓ Correct
CC. Located in exterior areas
DD. Encapsulated with a special sealant
Explanation
Friable asbestos (materials that can be crumbled by hand pressure) poses the greatest risk because it releases asbestos fibers into the air. Non-friable, intact ACMs are generally less hazardous unless disturbed.
