Sauté means to jump. In ballet vocabulary, this term signals that the movement is performed with elevation off the floor, usually taking off from both feet and landing back on both feet, often while maintaining turnout. The other terms point to different ideas: Allegro refers to a fast, lively category of jumps and movements, not the act of jumping itself; Rond de jambe describes a circular leg movement either on the ground or in the air; A terre means on the ground, without jumping. So sauté is the correct choice because it directly names the action of jumping.
