Correct answer: C
CONCEPT
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment designed to create a sense of presence for the user.
Its defining feature is interaction: the system responds to the user's actions, so the user takes part in the simulated setting instead of only observing it.
APPLICATION
Among the offered descriptions, “participatory experience” captures this active involvement and responsive interaction.
CONTRAST
“Sharp pictures” concern image clarity; sharp images can be displayed without an interactive virtual environment.
“Individual audio” concerns sound delivered to one listener; personalized audio alone does not create participation in a simulated world.
“Preview of new films” means advance viewing of film content; it is a distribution or access function, not a defining feature of virtual reality.
RESULT
Therefore, virtual reality provides a participatory experience.
