A
ready for a runway 26 intersection takeoff.
B
on the taxiway leading to runway 26.
C
ready for a runway 8 intersection takeoff.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
On a runway holding position sign such as '26-8', AIM 2-3-8 explains that the number on the left is the runway whose threshold lies to the left. Turning left therefore takes you toward the runway 26 threshold, which means you are pointed in the direction of runway 8 and ready for a runway 8 intersection takeoff. The sign marks the runway itself, not a taxiway leading to it.
