May a remote pilot drop an object from a small unmanned aircraft?

• A.Never; dropping any object of any kind is prohibited in all circumstances under Part 107
• B.Only if it can be done without creating an undue hazard to persons or property
• C.Yes, without any restriction at all, if the object dropped weighs less than 1 pound in total

Why

Part 107 does not ban all drops, but an object may not be dropped in a way that creates an undue hazard. Weight alone does not make an unrestricted drop lawful.
