{'global positioning system': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'gps': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'longitude': [4, 2, 2, 1], 'satellites': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'russian system': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'latitude': [2, 0, 0, 4], 'constellation': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'glonass': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'navigation': [1, 1, 1, 3], 'us system': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer to this question is option 4, which states that GPS is associated with determining latitude and longitude, constellation of satellites, US system of GPS and Russian system of GLONASS, and navigation.

Option 1 states that GPS is associated with determining latitude and longitude, which is correct. GPS uses a network of satellites to pinpoint the user`s location on Earth by calculating the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Option 2 states that GPS is associated with the constellation of satellites, which is also correct. The GPS system consists of a constellation of satellites that transmit signals to GPS receivers on the ground. These satellites work together to provide accurate positioning and navigation information.

Option 3 states that GPS is associated with the US system of GPS and the Russian system of GLONASS. This is also correct. GPS is primarily a US system, while GLONASS is the Russian equivalent. Both systems provide similar services and can be used together for more accurate positioning.

Option 4 includes all of the above associations, making it the correct answer. GPS is indeed associated with determining latitude and longitude, the constellation of satellites, the US system of GPS, the Russian system of GLONASS, and navigation.
