Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Fin-syn Rule (Financial Interest and Syndication Rules) was a set of regulations imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, which restricted the amount of programming that television networks could produce in-house. This rule was designed to encourage diversity and competition by forcing networks to buy a significant portion of their programming from independent producers.
