Metal siding not grounded is the answer.

I didn’t think ANY siding nails-either vinyl or metal should be tight. Doesn’t the siding have to move?

but the question said “vynal”. that doesn’t have to be grounded, so the “best” answer in my opinion would have to apply to both metal AND vynal. i said C. if you ask me, i’m right. but than again, besides all my faults i’m perfect.

Jeez, I hate questions like this.
I have typed three separate replies but then go back and re-read the question and replies and keep changing my mind. 
Now I am back to thinking A is the correct answer.
B, C, and E are problems. D is not a problem since nails shouldn't be tight.
So by the process of elimination A would have to be the answer, but one could then argue that the problems need to be common to both metal and vinyl (like Jay) which then could eliminate A.
But on the other hand "metal" is a qualifier in A, which then precludes it being applied to vinyl. Which then meets the "except" qualifier in the question, or not, well maybe.

When you read it like this, how can any other answer appear to be more correct?

It is a confusing question because the word except is in there. It is asking what is not a problem on this list. Nails not driven tight is not a problem. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Jeff,
We both got to the same destination but I have to admit I wasted a lot of gas to get there. 
I am going to have to keep that "short cut" in mind the next time I test.
Thanks for the help.

Why will it need to be grounded. I know someone you install Metal Seamless Siding I ask him he said that they do not ground the siding.
He think that it would already be ground because the power,cable,phone are attached an they are ground are they not?

The siding is not required to be bonded by the NEC.
