Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) they wouldn’t rip open fuel tanks at the TIME of crash

Explanation: Gears should be PLACED such that they would not rip open fuel tank at the time of crash. Location should be selected by CONSIDERING crashworthiness as WELL. If location is not adequate then, it will damage to crashworthiness properties of our design.
