Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: EDUSAT
Why this is correct:
EDUSAT is a satellite system dedicated to educational services, designed to deliver audiovisual content to educational institutions across the country.
It supports interactive distance education features such as teleconferencing, one-to-many video delivery, and two-way audio in many configurations.
Because it is specifically intended for nationwide educational use and supports audiovisual interactivity, it matches the description in the question.
Why the other choices are not correct:
Community Radio (FM) is audio-only and serves local community areas; it is not a nationwide interactive satellite-based audiovisual system.
CLASS (as presented) is not the dedicated educational satellite infrastructure described and does not denote the national interactive audiovisual satellite system.
DTH (Direct-To-Home) delivers television channels directly to homes and is typically one-way commercial broadcasting, not the dedicated interactive educational satellite service the question describes.
Extra context: EDUSAT was launched by ISRO specifically to support distance learning and tele-education, making it the appropriate match for the described interactive satellite-based audiovisual distance education system.
