Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (B) Communication satellites

The explanation is: Communication satellites are not originators of information to be transmitted. If a transmitting station cannot communicate directly with one or more receiving stations because of line-of-sight restrictions, a satellite can be used. The transmitting station SENDS the information to the satellite, which in turn re-transmits it to the receiving stations.
