Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
High-concept films are defined as movies that can be easily pitched in 25 words or less or described in a single sentence. These movies often have a simple, clear, and easily marketable premise that can be conveyed in a few words. Examples of high-concept films include Jaws, Die Hard, and Speed. B movies are low-budget films, Indiewood films are independent films produced with significant financial and logistical support, and independent films are films that are made outside the traditional Hollywood studio system. None of these terms specifically describe films based on ideas that can be expressed in 25 words or less or held in one's hand.
