Correct Answer:  C) Location tracking 

] . . . 

GPS, known as Global Positioning System is a navigation system used to determine the ground position of an object.

Many automobile, smartphone and GIS devices (Geographic Information Systems), have built-in GPS receivers.
For civilian use, the system can accurately pinpoint a device within 16 feet.  The GPS system uses 30 satellites (24 active and the rest backups), that are roughly 12,000 miles above the earths surface.
