Correct option is B
Marshal McLuhan distinguished between "high-definition" and "low-definition" media based on the amount of detail and sensory information provided to the audience. High-definition media are more detailed, provide more data, and require less participation from the audience to fill in the gaps.
·
Photograph (B): A photograph is high-definition because it provides detailed visual information.
·
Radio (C): Radio is considered high-definition due to its clear sound transmission.
·
Cinema (D): Cinema is high-definition as it combines visual and auditory elements in detail.
Information Booster: · High-definition media provide more sensory data and require less audience engagement to understand.
· Low-definition media, on the other hand, offer less information and need the audience to engage more.
· High-definition media includes cinema, radio, and photographs due to their richness in detail.
· McLuhan's theory emphasizes the relationship between the medium and its impact on the audience.
Additional Knowledge:
Speech (A): As a low-definition medium, speech involves less detailed sensory input and encourages more interpretation from listeners. It lacks the sensory richness found in visual or auditory high-definition media.
Cartoon (E): Though visually engaging, cartoons often simplify visual elements, making them low-definition in comparison to photographs or cinema.
