Answer
- B For normal body text it narrowly misses level AA, for large text (from 18 pt or 14 pt bold) it is sufficient
Explanation
Level AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. 4.48:1 is just below the limit, and no rounding applies. A slightly darker gray such as #767676 already reaches 4.5:1. Such values should be checked early in the design, because later corrections change the look.
