Final answer:

(a) Continue the approach but fly no lower than 100 ft above TDZE unless the red terminating bars are in view. The pilot can legally continue the approach at decision height, but must fly no lower than 100 ft above TDZE unless the red terminating bars are in view.

Step-by-step explanation:

When approaching to land at KGEG on the ILS RWY 3, the pilot can legally continue the approach at decision height, but must fly no lower than 100 ft above TDZE unless the red terminating bars are in view. This is option (a) of the given choices. The decision height is the minimum altitude at which the pilot must decide whether to continue with the landing or execute a missed approach.
