  4. Dunless it is attached to a parachute.

Why this is the answer

CAR 602.23 prohibits dropping anything from an aircraft in flight that creates a hazard to persons or property on the surface. Jettisoning is otherwise permitted if it's safe, so the controlling test is the hazard — not a parachute, a jettison area, or a blanket ministerial approval.
