RAIM relates to which navigation system?

RAIM stands for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring, a capability of GPS receivers to verify the reliability of the GPS satellite signals and the resulting position without external checks. By cross-checking the distance measurements from multiple satellites, the GPS RAIM algorithm can detect a faulty satellite and prevent an incorrect navigation fix. This integrity monitoring is specific to GPS; ground-based systems like VOR, DME, and TACAN have their own methods for ensuring accuracy and do not use RAIM. So the system most closely associated with RAIM is GPS.
