If an aircraft has not been positively identified as friendly, which status permits engagement?

Explanation:
Rules of engagement determine when you may engage based on how a target is identified. When an aircraft hasn’t been positively identified as friendly, the most permissive authority allows you to engage anything not positively identified as friendly. That’s why this option fits best: it assumes hostilities unless the target has a clear, friendly identity. The other statuses impose extra steps—holding fire until positive hostile identification, requiring tighter confirmation, or restricting engagement to non-hostile or clearly neutral targets—so they wouldn’t authorize firing in this situation.
