At most airports without a published exception, what is the standard traffic pattern direction for manned aircraft?

• A.Left-hand traffic
• B.Right-hand traffic at all runways
• C.Either direction at each pilot's choice

Why

The standard pattern is flown with left turns, so pilots expect traffic on the left side of the runway. Remote pilots operating nearby should anticipate manned aircraft in that left-hand flow.
