C
3,000 feet AGL.
Explanation
The FAA requests that pilots flying over national parks, wildlife refuges and similar noise-sensitive areas maintain at least 2,000 feet above the surface (AC 91-36D and the AIM section on charted wildlife refuges), except when a lower altitude is required. The 1,000-foot and 3,000-foot figures are not the requested minimum.
