What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any "electronic product," which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.
Correct Answer: C
