VA (maneuvering speed) is the speed at which:

Maximum range is achieved

The landing gear must be extended

The aircraft will stall before exceeding the positive limit load factor in a full deflection maneuver

Correct

Maximum climb rate occurs

Explanation

At or below VA, a full abrupt control input will cause the aircraft to stall before the structural load limit is exceeded.
