Airspace classification..

Question on 'Airquiz':

---

3) Identify the type of airspace from the following description: IFR and VFR flights are permitted. All flights are subject to ATC service. IFR flights are separated from other IFR and VFR flights. VFR flights are separated from IFR flights and receive traffic information about other VFR flights. (~67% got this question wrong, including 4.9% who left this question blank.)

Theory Area: Airspace classification and VFR/IFR separation

Class B (17.5%)
Class C (32.9%)
Class D (38.2%)
Class E (6.5%)

---

Now the correct answer shown on airquiz site is 'class C' but according to my Air Law and opp procedures book, class C is defined as:

IFR Flights separated from all other IFR flights and recieve traffic information about VFR flights
VFR flights separated from IFR flights and recieve traffic information about other VFR flights.

Am I misunderstanding something here or is the airquiz site wrong??

The question is listed under the 'worst questions' section for Air Law.

Cheers

Steve
