When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings will be increased anytime the airplane is

Why →
Load factor increases whenever the aircraft is in any maneuver other than straight and level, unaccelerated flight. Banking, climbing, descending under G, and turbulence all increase load factor. In a 60° bank level turn, load factor doubles to 2G. The wings must support twice the aircraft's weight.
The trap →
Choice B is partially related (maneuvering speed involves load factor) but the broader answer is any non-straight-and-level flight. Choice C (positive G) is the result of load factor, not the cause.
