Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interferometers are designed specifically to combine the radiation from two or more telescopes in order to increase resolution via computer synthesis. This is commonly referred to as and is a well-established technique in astronomy. The other options (A, B, C, D) are all types of telescopes but do not have the same capability to combine radiation from multiple sources.
