Multiple Choice

A tracking device set to search mode:

Explanation:
In tracking operations, you need to know both how far away the signal is and which way to move to reach it. A device in search mode should display both distance to the other receiver and the direction toward it. That combination lets you steer toward the signal while monitoring how close you are and adjust your path as you approach. If it showed only distance, you’d know how far you are but not which way to go. If it showed only direction, you’d know the bearing but not how far you remain. Battery status doesn’t help locate the other receiver at all. So the correct choice is the one that displays both distance and direction toward another receiver.
