Which television format features several people, likely experts, discussing a topic on a panel?

• A. Light plot
• B. Panel Discussion format
• C. Drama format
• D. TR

Answer: (B)

A panel discussion format features multiple people, usually experts, discussing a topic on a panel with a moderator guiding the conversation. This setup brings together different viewpoints, allows for interaction among the speakers, and presents the topic from several angles in a conversational way. That makes it the best fit for a format where a topic is explored through a group discussion.

Light plot isn’t about on-screen format; it’s a lighting design plan for production, detailing how scenes are lit. Drama format is scripted and narrative, focusing on actors and story rather than live discussion. TR isn’t describing a panel-driven discussion either.
