A

High density military operations in the vicinity.

B

Unmarked balloon on a cable up to 3,008 feet AGL.

C

Unmarked balloon on a cable up to 3,008 feet MSL.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

Southeast of Elizabeth City Regional (ECG) in Figure 20, a caution box reads 'CAUTION: UNMARKED BALLOON ON CABLE TO 3008 ft MSL. CHECK NOTAMS.' The altitude is stated as MSL on the chart itself, so an AGL value is wrong. The high-density military operations caution applies to the Oceana/Fentress area farther north, not to ECG.
