Final answer:

The correct response is not listed in the options provided. The appropriate time to stand and salute is during the performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should stand and salute during the performance of the national anthem, which is "The Star-Spangled Banner". This anthem describes the resilience and endurance of the American spirit during the British bombardment of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Therefore, the correct choice from the list provided in the question is none of the options. While respect is generally given during the performance of "Anchors Aweigh," "Taps," "Hail to the Chief," and "God Bless America," it is the national anthem that traditionally signals the time when civilians should stand and place their hand over their heart, and when uniformed personnel should salute.
