While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Documentary TV programs in the slow TV genre consist of unscripted broadcasts of ordinary events in real time.
• MOBA Zencher is a German slow TV program.
• The 45-minute long program documented an artist making a pencil drawing during a train journey.
• It first aired in 2016.
• Slow TV has been called “the world’s most boring television.”
• American journalist Nathan Heller praises it, writing that “it affords a visceral kind of armchair tourism.”

The student wants to refute the claim that slow TV programs are boring. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

While some have praised slow TV for affording a “visceral kind of armchair tourism,” others have called it “the world’s most boring television.”

B

MOBA Zencher can offer a “visceral kind of armchair tourism.”

C

With broadcasts of ordinary events, like artists at work occurring in real time, slow TV programs are not boring.

D

Far from being slow, TV programs can provide a “visceral kind of armchair tourism,” as Heller puts it, whereby viewers can watch artists at work in real time.
