  2. Ball obstacles on approach and departure can be cleared by a minimum of 500 ft.
  3. Cthat surface is an airport or military aerodrome.Correct answer
  4. Dnoise abatement procedures are followed.

Why this is the answer

CAR 602.13 prohibits taking off from or landing on any surface within a city or town's built-up area unless that surface is an airport or a military aerodrome (balloons excepted). Being multi-engine, clearing obstacles by 500 ft, or following noise procedures does not authorize it.
