ATC advises that simultaneous operations are in progress at an airport. Pilots could expect a clearance to

  1. Atake-off over top of an aircraft on an intersecting runway.
  2. Btake-off on a specified parallel runway.
  3. Cland and hold short of an intersecting runway.Correct answer
  4. Dland on a specified parallel runway.

Why this is the answer

"Simultaneous operations" on intersecting runways means LAHSO is in use, so you could be cleared to land and hold short of the intersecting runway (TC AIM-RAC, Operations on Intersecting Runways). It does not authorize taking off over another aircraft, and the runways intersect rather than being parallel.
