• A. Cable Programming
• B. Pay TV
• C. Broadcasting
• D. Subscription TV

Answer: (D)

The main idea is a service funded by ongoing monthly fees paid by viewers. This model means audiences subscribe and pay each month to access the programming, rather than paying per channel or relying mainly on ads. That flexibility—delivered through cable, satellite, or streaming—fits subscription TV perfectly, because the same paid model can be carried over any distribution path. Cable programming describes content delivered via a cable system, but doesn’t inherently specify the ongoing subscriber fee structure. Pay TV refers to premium channels or services that require an extra fee, which is close but narrower than the full subscription TV concept. Broadcasting is typically free-to-air and ad-supported, not paid monthly by subscribers. Subscription TV, by contrast, is defined by the monthly subscriber fee and the ability to distribute content across multiple delivery methods, making it the best fit for this description.
