Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.
