The answer is (D) It can send data to Earth.

The High-Gain Antenna on the voyagers transmits data back to earth on 2 frequency channels. One channel transmits at about 8.4ghz and is in the X-band channel that contains engineering data. The other channel transmits data at around 2.3ghz and is in the S-band.
