1 mile and clear of clouds.✓ Correct Answer
B
1 mile and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds.
C
3 miles and clear of clouds.
Explanation
On Figure 26, Cooperstown Airport (S32) sits inside a magenta shaded vignette, meaning Class E airspace begins at 700 feet AGL, so the airspace at or below 700 feet AGL is Class G. For Class G at 1,200 feet AGL or less during the day, 14 CFR 91.155(a) requires 1 statute mile flight visibility and clear of clouds. The 3-mile and 1,000/500/2,000 cloud-clearance values are Class E (or Class G above 1,200 feet AGL) requirements.
