A) The battery needs to be replaced if the voltage dropped below 9.6 volts while under a load but rose above 12.4 volts when the load was removed
B) The battery should be charged and then retested because it dropped below 9.6 volts and didn't rise above 12.4 volts when the load was removed
C) The battery should be charged and then retested because it dropped below 9.6 volts and rose above 12.4 volts when the load was removed
D) The battery is good because the voltage dropped only to 10.3 volts while under load

If the battery voltage drops below 9.6 volts under load but rises above 12.4 volts when the load is removed, it indicates the battery may be weak or discharged, but not necessarily faulty. Charging and retesting is a reasonable step, but the statement implies a definitive need for retesting, which is not necessarily true.
