The best answer is: **1) radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate.**
While solar flares can also affect satellite systems, high-frequency radio waves, and power grids, the immediate and noticeable impact on navigation and GPS systems is often highlighted due to their reliance on accurate signals that can be disrupted by solar activity. Additionally, the other options are valid effects but may not be as universally recognized or emphasized in predictions regarding solar flares.
