Which one of the following statements best reflects the idea behind the "Fractional Orbital Bombardment System" often talked about in media?

1. The question asks for the statement that best describes the "Fractional Orbital Bombardment System" (FOBS). 2. FOBS is a concept developed during the Cold War. It involves launching a nuclear warhead into a low Earth orbit. 3. Unlike a typical satellite, the warhead does not complete a full orbit. Instead, it flies on a partial (fractional) orbit before deorbiting and descending towards its target on Earth. 4. Option (A) describes a planetary defense scenario against an asteroid using a hypersonic missile, which is unrelated to FOBS. 5. Option (B) describes a standard spacecraft landing procedure on another planet. 6. Option (C) accurately reflects the idea behind FOBS: a missile (carrying a warhead) is put into a stable orbit around the Earth and then deorbits over a target. 7. Option (D) describes a comet rendezvous mission, like the Rosetta mission. 8. Therefore, statement (C) best reflects the concept of FOBS.
