What is the default material condition if no modifier symbol (M or L) is specified in the tolerance portion of a feature control frame?

Correct answer: Regardless of Feature Size (RFS)

Explanation

It is critical to know the default conditions in GD&T to correctly interpret a drawing that may not have explicit modifiers on every callout. RFS is the default for geometric tolerances.
