arid areas require the road formation to be: A. Built at moisture contents slightly higher than the roller optimum levels to ensure maximum compaction is achieved and then paved at the designated timing. Incorrect B. Abundantly watered and compacted using heavy rollers to achieve maximum compaction and then paved as quickly as possible to lock in the moisture. C. Timed to ensure the subgrade compaction and pavement material placement are completed promptly to retain the required moisture levels. D. Covered with pavement and primed only after the compacted surface has been allowed to dry to match the ambient conditions, thus ensuring long-term stability
