But what about C? I feel like it’s misleading. Global variables can still have race conditions.

I agree, A makes sense. Local variables can't do that.

I think A is the best choice. Global variables are great for sharing data between VIs.

D seems off to me; I thought both types of variables needed labels, but maybe I'm mixing it up with something else.

I feel like I’ve seen a question about race conditions before, but I can't recall if it was related to global variables.

I remember something about local variables not being able to share data between VIs, so A might be the best choice here.
