Under Title IV, which statement about closed captions is correct?

• A. Televisions 13 inches or larger in size must have CC ability
• B. Closed captioning is optional for all televisions
• C. Only televisions up to 13 inches require CC
• D. CC is not required for any television

Answer: (C)

Accessibility requirements for TV sets require that larger screens have built-in closed captioning capability. Under the rule, televisions with screens of 13 inches or larger must include the hardware or circuitry to display closed captions, ensuring captions are available for viewers who rely on them. Smaller sets weren’t required to include this feature. So the correct statement is that televisions 13 inches or larger must have CC capability. The other options misstate the requirement: closed captioning isn’t optional for all TVs, it isn’t limited to smaller sets, and it isn’t absent for any TV.
