  1. Place it on the lap of a passenger for the whole flight.
  2. Restrain it so that it cannot shift in flight.
  3. Put it on the cabin floor near the exit, next to the door.
  4. Put it on an empty seat and leave it without any restraint.

Correct answer: Restrain it so that it cannot shift in flight.

Baggage must be in a certified location or be restrained to prevent shifting during surface movement, take-off, landing and turbulence.
