• B. $1-$3 (but $4 and $4.50 now allowed as well)
• C. $5-$8
• D. $2-$3

Answer: (B)

Passenger Facility Charges are per‑passenger fees airports can add to funding eligible projects. In practice, these charges are kept modest, typically around one to three dollars per passenger. Because policies have evolved, higher ceilings are allowed for approved projects, up to four dollars per passenger, and up to four dollars and fifty cents per passenger in certain cases, with the increments often in 50-cent steps. This mix is why the best answer notes the common range and also acknowledges the higher allowances that can apply. The other ranges either understate what is commonly seen or exceed the legal maximum, so they don’t fit the real-world practice.
