Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) No.
A tourniquet should never be covered with clothing or bandages, as this can obscure the site, impede assessment of its effectiveness, and potentially delay vital medical attention. The tourniquet and the wound site should remain visible for medical personnel.
