Which statement describes an Active weapon guidance system?

Explanation:
Active guidance means the weapon itself emits energy to locate and track the target, using an onboard seeker to illuminate and steer toward it. The statement that target illumination is supplied by a component carried in the missile describes that self-contained illumination capability, which is the hallmark of active guidance. This contrasts with illumination provided by the launching aircraft, which describes semi-active guidance, and with inertial navigation or other non-seeker-based guidance methods.
