During a one-engine-out event, FADEC will schedule MCT power when the thrust lever is in which detent?

Explanation:
In a one-engine-out scenario, you need the surviving engine to deliver maximum practical thrust to maintain a safe climb. The FADEC is designed to automatically push the remaining engine to MCT when you set the thrust lever to the climb detent. This ensures the aircraft has enough thrust to climb with one engine inoperative. Using the TOGA detent would apply takeoff/go-around power that isn’t appropriate for OEI climb, and idle would give far too little thrust. So the climb detent is the point at which MCT power is scheduled.
