A paid advertising message, especially on TV, radio, or online video.

• A. Billboard (hoarding)
• B. Public transport advertising
• C. Skyscraper ad
• D. Commercial

Answer: (D)

The concept here is identifying a paid advertising message delivered through broadcast and online video channels. A commercial is exactly that—a paid advertising message created to promote a product, service, or brand and aired on TV, radio, or online video. It’s purchased by an advertiser and designed for mass reach in audio-visual form. The other options refer to static or signage placements (billboards, skyscraper ads, public transport ads), which are outdoor or out-of-home formats and not the broadcast/online video messages described. So the term that best fits a paid message on TV, radio, or online video is commercial.
