The MEA from Magnolia to Hater, Monroe, and Dorts is 4000 feet. Which of the following is true?

The MEA is the minimum altitude you must maintain along a route segment to ensure obstacle clearance between fixes. If the MEA from Magnolia to the next fixes is 4000 feet, you must be at or above 4000 feet on the legs from Magnolia to each of the subsequent fixes. So the fixes that the 4000-foot MEA applies to are the ones you fly to from Magnolia: Hater, Monroe, and Dorts. Magnolia is the starting point, not one of the destination fixes for this MEA statement. Therefore, the true statement is that Hater, Monroe, and Dorts are the fixes associated with the 4000-foot MEA.
