Answer

  • C When the aircraft flies at a sufficiently high altitude, and is close to the aeronautical station

Explanation

Reliable VHF communication requires line of sight: the aircraft is high enough and close to the ground station. Low flight in a valley, the radio shadow of a mountain or a long distance at low altitude degrade the link.
