Answer: B — Immediate attention and repairs

An inspection failure due to issues with the windshield typically requires immediate attention and repairs because the windshield is a critical safety feature of the vehicle. A damaged or improperly functioning windshield can obstruct the driver's view and compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle in the event of a collision. Ensuring that the windshield is free from cracks, chips, and other damage is essential for safe operation. Therefore, any identified issues must be addressed promptly to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to enhance overall visibility while driving. This makes "immediate attention and repairs" the necessary action to take.
