Answer:

B) He installed the new cable in the television room.

This sentence does not contain an oxymoron, while the others do. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two seemingly contradictory words or phrases. In the other sentences, the words used are contradictory to each other. In sentence B, there is no contradiction between the words used.
