Any of them will work as long as it doesn't get wet. If it gets wet,
water damage to the parquet will be the biggest issue

They would all work. If you want smooth to roll a wheelchair I'd go
with hardboard

As noted, any of them but any of them can still scratch the parquet
floor if slid under a heavy object. I would put felt pads or some soft
cloth between the floor and wood, then put hospital bed on the wood.

I'd use a 1/4" plywood underlay - Okume (Mahogany) , not poplar
