Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
mHealth (mobile health) apps can help Tracey find pharmacies in the area, check whether they have her medication in stock, and possibly even allow her to order a refill through the app. GPS may also be useful in finding nearby pharmacies, but it won't provide information on medication availability or allow for ordering refills. Fitness tracker and LinkedIn are not relevant to Tracey's situation.
