To bump a passenger means to remove them due to weight/balance or over-sale.

• A. To reassign a passenger to a different seat.
• B. To upgrade a passenger.
• C. To remove a passenger due to weight/balance or overbooking.
• D. To board a passenger.

Answer: (C)

Bump means removing a passenger from a flight, usually because there aren’t enough seats or because weight and balance constraints require adjustments. This often happens when a flight is overbooked; if there aren’t enough volunteers to give up their seats, some passengers are taken off the flight to ensure safe operation. The statement aligns with that idea: removal due to weight/balance or overbooking. Moving a passenger to a different seat isn’t removal from the flight, upgrading is giving a better seat, and boarding is the act of letting someone onto the plane.
