Which rows are not allowed to have PEDs plugged in?

The correct choice indicates that exit rows are not permitted to have personal electronic devices (PEDs) plugged in during certain phases of flight, typically during takeoff and landing. This regulation is in place primarily for safety reasons. Passengers seated in exit rows must have their full attention on the safety procedures and be ready to assist in an emergency evacuation if necessary. If devices are actively in use, they could distract passengers from these critical responsibilities.

Furthermore, the absence of allowed PED usage in exit rows enhances safety by ensuring that there are no obstructions in these areas and that passengers can quickly respond to instructions from the crew. During other phases of flight, there might be different rules regarding the use of PEDs, particularly in First Class or Business Class where there may be less foot traffic and a higher focus on passenger comfort. However, the critical nature of exit rows for safety makes them uniquely restricted in this context.
