Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radio can pick up several different stations because the waves are used to transmit the radio signal through the air. These waves are coded at different frequencies, assigned to different radios. The waves do not mix, so we can tune several radio stations.

Have a nice day!
