OC effectively works on approximately what percentage of subjects?

OC effectively works on approximately what percentage of subjects?

• A. 60-65%
• B. 78-82%
• C. 90-95%
• D. 50-60%

Answer: (B)

The question tests how often OC spray effectively affects people. In real-world use, pepper spray tends to incapacitate a large majority, but not everyone, and outcomes can vary with factors like distance, wind, exposure time, spray potency, and individual physiology. Among the given options, the range around 78–82% best matches typical training and field data, reflecting a strong majority who respond sufficiently to stop the threat while allowing for a minority who are less affected due to the variables mentioned. The higher range (90–95%) overestimates consistent results, while the lower ranges (50–65% or 60–65%) underestimate practical effectiveness.
