Departing manned aircraft climbing straight out from a runway create a hazard for an sUAS in which area?

• A.Only inside the airport terminal building
• B.Only above 3,000 feet AGL
• C.Along the extended centerline beyond the departure end of the runway

Why

Departures climb along the runway's extended centerline at low altitude before turning. An sUAS operating in that corridor can meet climbing traffic with little time for either pilot to react.
