C Correct answer
Explanation

VOR receivers in the cockpit allow pilots to navigate by determining their position relative to VOR ground stations. The instrument shows which radial from the station you're on, allowing you to track to or from stations, fly specific airways, and determine position through VOR/DME fixes. VOR is a navigation aid, not for communication, altitude, or lighting control.
