Which of the following is required when participating in a contest on HF frequencies?

  1. ASubmit a log to the contest sponsor
  2. BSend a QSL card to the stations worked, or QSL via Logbook of The World
  3. CIdentify your station according to normal FCC regulations
  4. DAll these choices are correct
Why Contest operating is just normal amateur operating with a score attached. FCC rules still apply in full, including the 10-minute identification requirement of 97.119, so you must send your call sign at least every 10 minutes during a contact and at its end. Contest sponsors may ask for logs or encourage QSLing, but those are the sponsor's rules or courtesies, not FCC requirements.
Watch out Submitting a log is a condition for having your score published by the sponsor, and QSLing is entirely voluntary; neither is anything the FCC requires.
Contests change your operating style, not the rules: ID every 10 minutes, same as always.
