C Correct answer
Explanation

Flaps are wing components on the trailing edge that extend during takeoff and landing. They increase wing surface area and camber, generating additional lift at slower speeds. Elevators control pitch, rudders control yaw, and ailerons control roll - none are primarily used for takeoff/landing lift enhancement.
