Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

A chronology question needs one comparable milestone for every item. Here the common axis is the emergence of each item as a communication or mass-media form.

After fixing that axis, arrange the media from the earliest manuscript form to progressively later print, film, audio-broadcast, and audiovisual-broadcast forms.

Application

  1. Codex: the bound manuscript book developed in antiquity and was established long before modern mass media.

  2. Newspaper: periodic printed newspapers emerged in Europe in the early seventeenth century.

  3. Technicolour Cinema: Technicolor motion-picture processes were developed in the 1910s; the company was founded in 1915 and its first process was used publicly in 1917.

  4. Radio: although wireless experiments began in the late nineteenth century, scheduled public radio broadcasting emerged as a mass medium around 1920.

  5. Television: experimental systems followed, while regular public television broadcasting developed in the 1930s.

Cross-check

The development path is manuscript → print → colour motion picture → audio broadcasting → audiovisual broadcasting. This also matches the official NTA final key for Question ID 51270120.

Result

Therefore, the chronological order is Codex → Newspaper → Technicolour Cinema → Radio → Television.
