Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Tethering is the sharing of one device's internet connection with another device.
A smartphone can provide the shared connection through Wi-Fi (mobile hotspot), USB, or Bluetooth, while its mobile network supplies internet access.
Application
Jatin's smartphone has the SIM-backed network connection. Enabling tethering or a mobile hotspot allows Amit's tablet to connect to the phone and use that connection. Therefore, the required feature is tethering.
Contrast
GPS provides location and navigation data; it is not a facility for sharing a phone's data connection.
Notifications are alerts from apps or the operating system; they do not create a shared network connection.
Messaging exchanges text or media through a service; it does not configure the tablet to use the phone's data link.
