Variable stator vanes in a compressor are used to:

Increase fuel efficiency only at cruise

Control bleed air extraction

Reduce engine noise

Optimize airflow angle to the rotor blades across the RPM range to prevent stall

Correct

Explanation

Variable stator vanes adjust the incidence angle of air entering rotor stages, maintaining efficient airflow and preventing compressor stall.
