In Class A circuits, may the outgoing and return conductors be installed in the same raceway?

Not allowed to be in the same raceway

Yes

In Class A signaling circuits, the outgoing and return conductors form the same supervised signaling path back to the control panel. Because they’re part of the same low-voltage circuit, they can be run together in the same raceway without compromising the circuit’s ability to report and be monitored, as long as the raceway fill and conductor ratings meet code requirements. This arrangement simplifies installation and keeps the signaling loop intact. The other options don’t fit because there’s no general prohibition on sharing the raceway, no mandatory metal conduit requirement, and the allowance isn’t restricted by circuit type beyond the Class A signaling context.

Only if enclosed in metal conduit

It depends on circuit type
