Answer: D

RADAR is used for detecting and locating objects such as aircraft.

The name is short for Radio Detection and Ranging. A pulse of radio waves is sent out and the echo timed; the range follows from \(d = ct/2\), and the direction from where the antenna was pointing. Radio waves do not penetrate sea water, so submerged submarines are found by sonar instead.
