Which statement correctly describes serviceable, repairable, and unserviceable munitions?

Explanation:
Understanding munition status categories helps ensure safety and readiness. Serviceable items meet all performance standards and are ready for issue. Repairable items can be brought back to service through repair or refurbishment. Unserviceable items are unsafe or beyond repair and must be demilitarized or disposed of rather than issued or repaired. This wording aligns with standard disposition practices and prevents unsafe or ineffective munitions from entering service. The other statements mix up these roles—for example, saying serviceable items require disposal, or that unserviceable items are always ready for use, or that serviceable items are unsafe—none of which fit how these categories are defined.
