Where cables pass over pulleys and through fairleads

This is because this part of the control system is subject to a lot of tension and movement, causing wear and tear on the cables. Option A is incorrect because cables are securely connected to control surfaces and are less likely to break there. Option B is incorrect because cockpit control mechanisms are regularly checked and maintained.
