Which feature compensates for the missile's tip-off?

Explanation:
Compensating for the missile’s tip-off is achieved by the rear sight reticle. The launcher’s sight provides a fixed offset reference, which you use to aim so that the missile’s flight path will align with the target once the seeker takes over. The reticle accounts for the slight mismatch between where you’re aiming and where the missile’s seeker will steer from, effectively correcting for the initial off-axis tendency (tip-off). The other features don’t provide this aiming offset—infrared sensing, protective window and disk, and acquisition indicators relate to sensing or status, not to offsetting the launch geometry.
