What type of airspace is generally tailored to the needs of specific airports in the U.S.?

The correct answer is Class B airspace. Class B airspace is designed to protect busy airports and their surrounding areas. It typically surrounds the largest airports, where there is a high volume of air traffic, and is structured to ensure safe and orderly flow of aircraft both in and out of these airports. This type of airspace extends from the surface up to a specified altitude and requires that pilots operating within it obtain clearance from air traffic control.

Class B airspace is tailored specifically for the operational needs of the airports it serves, which often include heavy commercial traffic. The design ensures that aircraft are kept separated from one another and that they maintain safe distances from ground operations, especially where larger and faster aircraft operate.

In contrast, other classes of airspace serve different purposes. Class D airspace, for example, is typically found around smaller airports with control towers and requires two-way radio communication, but is not as extensive as Class B. Class C airspace offers a balance, serving moderately busy airports and providing a level of air traffic services, but again, it does not encompass the extensive protections associated with major airport operations that Class B does. Class E airspace is more generic and can be in remote areas, often used for en-route flight,
