  2. Only when the symbol happens to fall at the end of a sentenceRichtige Antwort
  3. After every unit symbol, because symbols are abbreviations
  4. Only after symbols named for people

Unit symbols are mathematical entities rather than abbreviations, so they take no abbreviating full stop. In the sentence 'It is 75 cm long.' the full stop belongs to the sentence, not to the symbol.
