B. hiking
C. needle
D. direction

Answer 1

Hint – In order to get the right option you need to know the use of compass. As the use of odometer is to measure mileage. Knowing this will solve your problem.

Complete Step-by-Step solution:
An odometer is an instrument used to measure mileage. A compass is an instrument used to determine direction.
So, the right option is D.

Additional Information - Most modern cars are fitted with a travel meter (drive odometer). By comparison to the odometer, the travel meter is reset at every point of the trip, making it possible to measure the distance traveled on any specific trip or portion of the journey. This was historically a strictly mechanical unit, but it is now electronic in most modern automobiles. Luxury vehicles also have several travel meters. Most of the trip meters should have a maximum value of 999.9. The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on each fuel tank, making it very easy to reliably monitor the energy output of the car; another common usage is to reset it to zero at each instruction in the driving direction sequence, so as to be sure when the vehicle is running.

Note – It is the problem of comparison as it is said that odometer is to mileage then we have to tell compass is to. As we see that if odometer is to mileage that is odometer is used to measure mileage then the use of compass is to measure direction. Here we have to know the use of compass since from the statement we need to consider use of the instrument.
