Answer: (B)

Initiation or induction in Arnold Air Society is a formal process that welcomes new members, introduces them to detachment norms, and binds them to uphold the organization's values and duties. This onboarding moment establishes clear expectations, responsibilities, and often a pledge or oath affirming commitment to service, leadership, and the detachment’s standards. A casual social gathering lacks the formal membership moment and obligations. A training exercise centers on developing specific skills, not the act of joining and committing to the organization. An online quiz is simply an assessment and does not involve becoming a member or pledging duties.
