The technology that allows engineers to penetrate rock at multiple angles instead of simply a straight line is called directional drilling.

The correct answer is directional drilling. Directional drilling is a technology that allows engineers to drill at multiple angles and maneuver the drill bit through the rock in various directions, instead of just drilling in a straight line. This technique is commonly used in mining, oil and gas exploration, and civil engineering projects where drilling needs to be done at specific locations or angles. Unlike underground mining, which involves extracting minerals or resources from underground deposits, directional drilling is focused on the drilling process itself. Place mining refers to the extraction of minerals from placer deposits, while blasting involves using explosive materials to break apart rock or other materials.
