阅读下列材料，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
①More than 100,000 people cheered at the breathtaking moment when 3,000 drones flew over Chaotianmen on the Chinese New Year Eve. The 15-minute drone show had 300 million views online.
②In fact, drones are easy to operate. People send orders to the control system. Rotors push against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle（角度）and the speed of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions.
③Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective way.
④After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people or record any possible danger. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes.
⑤For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where poachers are hiding and if they are carrying guns. At night, drones with infrared（红外线的）cameras can easily find them in the dark.
⑥Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing.
⑦In a word, drones have been widely used in emergency（紧急情况）, environmental protection, farming, transportation and others, with more fields on the way.
⑧As drones are cheaper, more practical and less dangerous than planes or helicopters, drone flight activities have become the important driving force for the growth of low-altitude economy（低空经济）. Besides well-known leaders like DJI, more pioneering companies have appeared. At the end of last year, there were nearly 1.27 million registered（注册的）drones across the country. The drone industry is believed to be full of chances and possibilities.
