What is a remote detonator (fuze)?

A remote detonator (fuze) is particularly defined as a device allowing manual triggering from a distance. This means that the operator can initiate the detonation of an explosive without being in close proximity to it. This capability is critical in military operations and demolition tasks, enabling safety and strategic control over the timing and location of an explosion.

The operation of a remote detonator is designed to eliminate risks associated with being near explosives, which can be dangerous. By allowing the user to trigger an explosion from a safe distance, it enhances both safety and effectiveness in various tactical scenarios.

In contrast, while other options mention timing mechanisms or functionality based on signals or pressures, they do not capture the essence of remote activation with human control at a distance. The emphasis of option B on manual triggering distinctly aligns with the understanding of a remote detonator's primary purpose.
