Which action must be taken before authorizing a runway crossing in most control environments?

Explanation:
Local control handles movements in the runway environment and is the authority to approve a crossing. They have the best view of all traffic that could conflict with a crossing—aircraft on final, departing traffic, or other vehicles—and can sequence or stop movements to prevent a runway incursion. Clearance delivery provides departure or en route clearances, not ground crossings, and the aircraft operator isn’t the authority to approve movements on the airfield. A supervisor might intervene in unusual cases, but routine runway-crossing authorization comes from local control.
