Answer:

C). Television executives have a responsibility to provide better programming.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given excerpt taken from 'Television and the Public Interest', option C i.e. 'Television executives have a responsibility to provide better programming' displays the key argument made by Minow in this speech as the entire essay is primarily devoted to addressing this claim. She demonstrates how television has proven to be 'vast wasteland' due to 'massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence' that affect the children negatively. Thus, Minow highlights the responsibility of television executives to offer 'more(wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives) to the young beneficiaries whose future needs to be guided and 'serve the nation's needs'. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
