Which information can be found on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) website?

• A. The CARB website contains information about aftermarket catalytic converters and parts exempted from the Smog Check program.
• B. The CARB website provides the official VIN lookup service.
• C. The CARB website includes real-time exhaust emissions data for each vehicle.
• D. The CARB website includes only regulatory texts with no consumer information.

Answer: (A)

The information about aftermarket catalytic converters and parts exempted from the Smog Check program is what CARB provides for technicians and consumers. CARB maintains an Exemptions database and official rulings (EO numbers) for parts that are approved as exemptions or certified to specific standards. This lets you verify that a replacement catalytic converter or other parts will not cause a Smog Check failure and will stay compliant with California rules.

Other options don’t fit because VIN lookup isn’t a CARB service—it’s handled by the DMV—and CARB does not publish real-time, per-vehicle exhaust emissions data. Additionally, CARB site offers more than just regulatory texts; it includes consumer guidance, compliance resources, and part exemptions, not only legal texts.
