Low-Power Transmitters

Electronic devices designed to broadcast signals over a short distance with limited power output, often used in personal or localized broadcasting scenarios.

GEO

Stands for Geostationary Earth Orbit, a type of orbit 35,786 kilometers above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation.

LEO

Low Earth Orbit, a region of space around the Earth at altitudes between 160 to 2,000 kilometers, often used for satellites that require close communication with Earth.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites are closer to the Earth compared to GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) and MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites, which means they can operate with lower-power transmitters to communicate effectively. VEO (Very Low Earth Orbit) is not a commonly used term in satellite communications.
