  2. 60 days
  3. 45 days

Answer: B — 60 days

New residents of North Carolina are required to register their vehicle within 60 days of establishing residency. This timeframe allows newcomers to ensure that their vehicles are compliant with state regulations regarding registration and safety standards. The 60-day period is a reasonable length of time that accommodates the logistical aspects of moving and settling in, ensuring that individuals have ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the state's motor vehicle laws and processes. Additionally, registering within this allocated timeframe prevents potential fines or legal issues that may arise from driving unregistered vehicles. The establishment of this period aligns with the state's efforts to maintain accurate records of vehicle ownership and ensure the safety of all road users.
