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
Codex: the bound manuscript book developed in antiquity and was established long before modern mass media.
Newspaper: periodic printed newspapers emerged in Europe in the early seventeenth century.
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.
Radio: although wireless experiments began in the late nineteenth century, scheduled public radio broadcasting emerged as a mass medium around 1920.
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.
