When a Signal Delta is issued aircraft at or below 7,000 feet will ____.

Signal Delta tells you to stay on the published approach path and continue toward landing when you’re at or below 7,000 feet. At this altitude, you’re close enough to the runway to complete the approach without needing to break off for a go-around, hold, or circle maneuver. Aborting the approach would mean initiating a missed approach and climbing away, which isn’t what this signal directs. Holding or circling would delay arrival and aren’t required once Signal Delta has been issued in this scenario. So the intended action is to keep the approach going and proceed with landing.
