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.
