Correct Ans: (4)

Explanation: OTT stands for “Over the Top.” It refers to the delivery of video content over the internet directly to viewers, bypassing traditional cable, satellite, or broadcast television platforms. OTT platforms enable users to stream movies, TV shows, and other video content on-demand, usually through subscription-based services. These platforms have gained popularity due to their convenience, flexibility, and wide range of content offerings. Examples of OTT platforms include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu.
