Cevap

The correct term is transponder, which denotes the specialized electronic transmitter aboard an aircraft that responds to radar inquiries with an identification code.
The word transponder (a blend of transmitter and responder) specifically denotes an airborne telecommunication device that emits an identifying signal in response to an interrogation radio frequency from radar stations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the stem to determine the exact functional description.
The device in question is located on an aircraft, interacts with air traffic control radar, and broadcasts a four-digit squawk code for identification.
Identifying the functional requirement isolates the specific specialized register term needed.
2
Evaluate the specialized aviation vocabulary options against the description.
A transponder (transmitter-responder) is specifically designed to emit an identifying code when pinged by radar. An altimeter measures altitude, a tachometer measures engine RPM, and an accelerometer measures rate of acceleration change.
Only transponder matches the specialized definition required by the context.
