Under 14 CFR Part 43, which statement about repairs is correct?

In 14 CFR Part 43, repairs are categorized by their effect on the aircraft's characteristics. A repair that would affect weight, balance, structural strength, or performance is considered a major repair. Major repairs must have FAA approval or be performed using FAA-approved data, and when FAA approval is required, the work is typically documented for FAA acceptance (often with a Form 337). Minor repairs, by contrast, do not affect those critical factors and do not require FAA approval, though they still must be performed using appropriate, approved data. The statement that a major repair affects weight, balance, structural strength, or performance and requires FAA approval is the correct one. The other options misstate the roles of major/minor repairs or the need for approved data.
