Incorrect. The only move that would not be judged as illegal is where you move the pawn with one hand and hit the clock with the other. This is however still considered an offence, but there are many offences (such as disruptive behaviour) that do not make a move illegal. You could still be warned by the arbiter, and perhaps even penalised in some way, but you would not be in immediate danger of losing the game if, for example, this was the second time the arbiter had warned you about the behaviour.
The illegal features of the other ones are as follows:
1. When capturing a piece, you must use the same hand for both removing the piece and moving your own piece onto the captured piece's square.
2. It is illegal to make a move that leaves your king in check.
3. When promoting a pawn, you must place the new piece onto the promotion square before you hit the clock. By not doing so, your opponent's thinking time is compromised by the distraction of you placing the new piece, and, in some cases, the uncertainty about which piece you will choose to promote.
These rules applies to all time controls.

Good quiz, interesting facts. Enjoyed it and learnt from it.
Thanks Robert, it was quite enjoyable and useful to think up the distractor options. In doing so, I sometimes realised that I hadn’t phrased or thought about the question’s basic scenario in the most meaningful way.
