C

not deviate from any rule of 14 CFR part 91 unless prior to the deviation approval is granted by the Administrator.

Explanation

14 CFR 91.3(b) allows the pilot in command, in an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, to deviate from any rule of Part 91 to the extent required to meet that emergency. A written report is required only if the Administrator requests it (91.3(c)), not automatically within 24 hours, and no prior approval is needed.
