Answer:

Georgia entrepreneur Ted Turner found success by turning his father's advertising firm into Turner Broadcasting and with the founding of CNN (option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ted Turner -whose full name is Robert Edward Turner III- is a businessman born in Cincinnati in 1938, known to have become a media magnate and founder of Cable News Network.

After his father's death in 1963, he took control of the family business -Turner Adversiting Company- and was interested in acquiring a television and later radio station that would become the Turner Communicatios Group, later to become Turner Broadcasting System (TBS).

In 1980 he founded Cable News Network or CNN, the first television station to specialize exclusively in news broadcasting.
