What is identified as the first broadcasting medium, capable of transmitting waves to a large audience?

• A. Radio
• B. Television
• C. Newspapers
• D. Magazines

Answer: (A)

The idea here is identifying which medium first used wireless waves to reach a large audience. Broadcasting means sending signals so many people can receive them at once, without needing to gather in one place. Radio does exactly that by transmitting audio over the air with electromagnetic waves, allowing listeners across wide areas to tune in simultaneously. Newspapers and magazines are printed, physical forms of media, so they require distribution rather than wireless transmission. Television also uses wireless transmission but came later and builds on the radio concept rather than being the first to do mass wireless broadcast. So radio is the first broadcasting medium capable of reaching a large audience.
