A Correct answer
Explanation

The minimum enroute clearance when flying over hilly terrain is 2000 feet above the highest obstacle. This terrain clearance requirement provides safety margins for unexpected weather, downdrafts, or navigation errors. Hilly or mountainous terrain requires greater clearance than flat terrain due to rapidly rising elevations.
