Under weather minimums, do not authorize hold below 5,000 ft AGL inbound towards the airport or within 1 mile of the localizer if ceilings are below 800 ft and visibility is below 2 miles. Which of the following combinations reflects these restrictions?

When weather minimums restrict holds, the critical boundary is that holds are not authorized below 5,000 ft AGL inbound toward the airport or within 1 mile of the localizer if the ceiling is at or below 800 ft and visibility is at or below 2 miles. In this scenario, the combination that matches those boundary values is the one with a ceiling of 800 ft and visibility of 2 miles, with a hold altitude of 5,000 ft AGL and staying 1 mile from the localizer. This reflects exactly the stated restriction: the weather is at the minimum levels that trigger the hold restriction, so you must raise the hold altitude to 5,000 ft and keep at least 1 mile from the localizer. The other options either show weather better than the minimums (higher ceilings or more visibility) or request a hold at a lower altitude or closer distance, which would not align with the stated restrictions.
