Under what condition is the A/P GA mode available?

Go-around autopilot mode is designed to protect a late-approach decision to abort landing. It becomes available only when the FLARE ARMED indication is present and before the autopilot senses touchdown. This timing gives the system a window to command the required pitch and thrust for a safe climb if the landing isn’t being completed, while ensuring it won’t engage after touchdown or in conditions unrelated to go-around readiness. Other options don’t reflect the actual gating: it isn’t about landing after, it isn’t contingent on using a single autopilot, and LNAV status doesn’t control go-around availability.
