The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term SONAR**: SONAR is an acronym that stands for a specific phrase. We need to identify what this phrase is. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The possible options provided are: - A) Special Navigation and Range - B) Sound Navigation and Ranging - C) Sound Nesting and Resting - D) Sound Navigation and Amplifier Ranging 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option A (Special Navigation and Range) does not relate to sound, so it can be eliminated. - Option C (Sound Nesting and Resting) does not make sense in the context of navigation or ranging. - Option D (Sound Navigation and Amplifier Ranging) is incorrect as it adds unnecessary terms. 4. **Choosing the Correct Option**: - The only option that accurately describes SONAR is Option B: Sound Navigation and Ranging. This is a technique that uses sound waves to navigate and measure distances underwater. 5. **Understanding the Function of SONAR**: SONAR works on the principle of echo. It involves sending sound waves from a transmitter, which then reflect off objects (like the seabed or obstacles) and return to a receiver. This helps in determining the distance and size of these objects. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, SONAR is defined as Sound Navigation and Ranging. **Final Answer**: SONAR is Sound Navigation and Ranging. ---
