Which option best defines transmit?

• A. to convey
• B. to send across
• C. to communicate or broadcast
• D. to give a virus or illness to others

Answer: (C)

Transmitting is about passing something from a sender to a receiver, usually through a channel. In everyday use, it often means making information or a signal known to others. That broad idea—sending and sharing information or signals—fits best with the phrase “to communicate or broadcast,” because it covers both messages and signals sent across mediums. The other ideas touch parts of the sense: to convey or to send across are close, but they’re not as encompassing as the notion of distributing information or a signal to an audience. The phrase about giving a virus or illness to others describes a specific, narrow context of transmission, which is valid but not the general meaning.
