(B) Prompters

(C) Stingers 

(D) Sound bites

Correct Ans: (C)

Explanation:

In television broadcasting, broadcasters use short phrases of music as punctuation devices, which are called Stingers. These brief musical cues punctuate moments in a broadcast, creating an immediate emotional or auditory impact. Broadcasters use stingers to emphasize transitions, highlight key moments, or set the tone for specific segments. They often employ stingers in news programs, sports broadcasts, and television shows to signal changes in scenes or shifts in content.

While terms like “Stylised music” or “Sound bites” refer to audio elements, “Stingers” specifically serve to punctuate moments. These music cues are short and sharp, typically lasting only a few seconds. Many times, a show or broadcast style will associate stingers with a particular sound.
