  1. A2,000 feet AGL.Correct answer
  2. B1,500 feet AGL.
  3. C1,000 feet AGL.
  4. D500 feet AGL.

Why this is the answer

Per CAR 602.96(4), unless ATC authorizes otherwise, no aircraft may be flown over an aerodrome below 2,000 ft AGL except to take off or land. Lower 'overfly' altitudes are the trap.
