Which statement best describes what a VOR provides to navigators?

Explanation:
A VOR provides azimuth information—the magnetic bearing from the station to your aircraft (or from your aircraft to the station). This lets you select a radial and fly along that line to navigate, or determine your position by crossing radials. Distance to the station isn’t provided by the VOR itself; that would require a paired DME (distance measuring equipment). Altitude and groundspeed come from other instruments—the altimeter for altitude and the airspeed/time for groundspeed—not from the VOR.
