OA. "A novel that takes only three hours to read would be a short novel indeed, and
novels that last five times as long are commonplace."
OB. "Episode after episode, and season after season, a serial drama can uncoil for
dozens of hours before reaching its end."
O C. "Films could be well written, but they were smaller than novels."
O D. "Ask novelists whether they spend more time watching TV or reading fiction and

Final answer:

Television is more like a novel because there is more time to develop characters. OB: "Episode after episode, and season after season, a serial drama can uncoil for dozens of hours before reaching its end."

Step-by-step explanation:

The evidence that best supports a response arguing that television is more like a novel than a movie because there is more time to develop characters is answer choice OB: "Episode after episode, and season after season, a serial drama can uncoil for dozens of hours before reaching its end."

This evidence explains how television shows, especially serial dramas, have a longer time span to develop characters, similar to how a novel can devote more pages to character development.

This demonstrates that television shares the characteristic of allowing more time for character development, just like a novel does.
