Where can you typically find a vehicle's identification number (VIN)?

The vehicle's identification number (VIN) is typically found on the dashboard near the windshield or inside the driver’s side door. This location allows for easier visibility for inspection purposes and for law enforcement to verify the vehicle's identity. The VIN is often displayed on a metal plate or decal that is permanently affixed to the vehicle, ensuring that it remains visible over time. This standardization helps both consumers and regulatory agencies track vehicle history, ownership, and registration details.

While some vehicles might have the VIN in other less common places, such as under the hood or in the trunk, these locations are not universally standard and may not be easily accessible or visible. The dashboard and the area inside the driver's side door are the most recognized and accessible locations for locating the VIN, making option B the correct answer.
