When should a jumper perform a determined break-off?

Near clouds
Once a personal objective is met
As reaching the assigned altitude
Immediately after deploying the parachute

The correct answer is: As reaching the assigned altitude

A determined break-off should be performed upon reaching the assigned altitude during jumps. This action is crucial as it signifies a strategic point in the jump where the parachutist can safely separate from their group, allowing for individual descent and landing without the risk of collisions. By breaking off at this specific altitude, jumpers maintain safety protocols and ensure they have adequate time to deploy their parachutes safely and correctly, which is vital for an effective landing. Options that suggest breaking off near clouds or after achieving a personal objective could introduce risks due to visibility conditions or miscommunication regarding jump timings. Additionally, performing a break-off immediately after deploying the parachute contradicts the sequence of safe skydiving procedures, as break-off refers to the separation from a formation while still in freefall, not after the parachute has been deployed.
