how did satellites help connect countries to the world economy?
satellites helped multinational organizations hire qualified candidates around the world.
satellite data made business transactions occur instantaneously.
satellite navigation helped ensure reliable international shipments.
satellites tracked garbage dumping to see if countries are following the kyoto protocol.

Explanation:

Satellites enable global navigation systems (like GPS) that allow precise tracking and routing of international cargo ships, ensuring shipments are reliable, on-time, and secure—directly supporting global trade and connection to the world economy. The other options are incorrect: hiring candidates is not a core satellite-driven economic connection, business transactions rely more on internet/telecom (not satellite data directly for instant transactions), and tracking garbage relates to environmental compliance, not economic connection.

Answer:

C. Satellite navigation helped ensure reliable international shipments.
