D
Passengers may continue to use PEDs until the aircraft reaches the holding point of the runway, which is when the check of the passenger compartment must be completed.
In general, the use of Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) during a flight delay is typically allowed as long as the cabin crew can secure the cabin prior to the flight proceeding. This means that passengers may use their PEDs during the delay, but must stow them prior to take-off. The exact timing of when PEDs must be stowed may vary based on the airline's policies and procedures, but it is typically before the aircraft begins taxiing for take-off.

CAT.GEN.MPA.140 Portable electronic devices
