Which term describes the solution to Asphalt Surface Defects?

• A. Pavement Distress Type
• B. Pavement Distress Amount
• C. Pavement Smoothness
• D. Solution to Asphalt Surface Defects

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing terminology that refers to addressing defects rather than the defects themselves. In pavement work, you classify what kind of defect you have, gauge how severe it is, and assess surface roughness. The term that describes the remedy or plan to fix those defects is the solution to Asphalt Surface Defects. That’s why this option fits best: it explicitly names the corrective action, not the problem's type or its amount or the surface texture. For context, fixes might include crack sealing, pothole patching, milling and overlay, or resurfacing—all of which are the solution rather than the defect details. The other terms point to the problem type, its extent, or the smoothness, not how you fix it.
