a.Type II

d.No certification is required
Explanation
Type I certification covers servicing and disposing of small appliances, defined as products manufactured, charged, and hermetically sealed in a factory with 5 pounds or less of refrigerant. Type II covers high-pressure systems and Type III covers low-pressure systems, and certification is always required to recover refrigerant. A Universal certification would also qualify because it includes Type I.
