Which organization still broadcasts Faraday's Christmas Lecture tradition?

• A. PBS
• B. BBC
• C. CNN
• D. National Geographic

Answer: (B)

This question tests knowledge of who keeps the long-running Faraday’s Christmas Lectures alive as a television tradition. Faraday’s Christmas Lectures began in the early 19th century at the Royal Institution in London as a way to bring science to the public, especially young people. The organization that continues this specific tradition on television is the BBC, which still broadcasts the Christmas Day lecture as part of its programming. The others listed—PBS, CNN, National Geographic—do not maintain this particular annual lecture tradition. So the best answer is the BBC.
