Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) on
Explanation
The blank needs a preposition that goes with *television* when we mean a programme that is broadcast.
We say a show is **on** television, **on** the radio and **on** air.
- **in:** "in the television" would refer to something inside the set. ✗
- **at:** used for a point or place ("at the station"). ✗
- **within:** inside a boundary. ✗
- **on:** the idiomatic preposition for broadcast media. ✓
Answer **on** (D).
