I need to ask this question from Phases of Flight in division Introduction & Navigation Equations of Avionics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Terminal phase

Easiest explanation: The terminal phase consists of the departure and the approach phase. Departure starts when the aircraft is in the ground and ends when it is out of the terminal area. The approach starts when the aircraft enters the terminal control area and ends when the aircraft intercepts the landing aids at approach fix.
