Show Worked Solution

  • C is correct. This option precisely captures both key aspects: the device is portable (small enough to plug into a smartphone) and accessible (can be used outside traditional healthcare settings).

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. This technology eliminates the need for expensive machines and it actually reduces costs.
  • C is incorrect. While partially correct, this option is too broad and doesn’t specifically address the technological advancement being demonstrated.
  • D is incorrect. These devices provide high quality images with little compromise in image quality despite the smaller size.
