A remote pilot's request for authorization to operate in Class D airspace is denied. The pilot may legally

• A.not operate in that airspace unless and until authorization is obtained for a revised time, place, or altitude
• B.proceed anyway below 200 feet AGL
• C.fly if a visual observer monitors the CTAF

Why

A denial means the operation as requested is not approved, so the pilot must stay out of that controlled airspace or seek approval for different terms. Low altitude and a visual observer do not override a denied authorization.
