Which code number represents 'Standby'?

• A. 10-22
• B. 10-23
• C. 10-24
• D. 10-28

Answer: (B)

Standby is the status you use when you’re available but waiting for further instructions or orders. It signals you’re not yet actively engaged in an assignment, but you’re ready to proceed when told to. In the Ontario 10-code set, this standby code is the one that specifically communicates that waiting-for-instructions state, which is why it’s the correct selection. The other codes map to different situations: one means you can disregard a prior instruction, another indicates you’ve completed an assignment, and another is a query for vehicle registration information. Those meanings don’t describe being in a waiting-for-orders mode, so they don’t fit Standby.
