  1. directly above

  2. 60 inches above

  3. below

  4. at

The correct answer is: 60 inches above

A Directly above is an incorrect answer as the distance between the highest point of the pole and the protective surfacing would be measured vertically. C: Below is an incorrect answer as the fall height would not include any distance below the highest point of the pole. D: At is an incorrect answer as the distance between the point and the highest point of the pole would not be taken into account for measuring the fall height. The correct option, B, states the specific measurement of 60 inches above the highest point of the pole, making it the most accurate and relevant answer.
