Answer: C.The hearings were televised for Americans to watch.
Explanation: Indeed, before these hearings no American network had broadcasted the entirety of senate hearings form gavel-to-gavel; a gavel is the wooden hammer used to signal the beginning or the end of a judicial or political proceeding. This means that the hearings were broadcasted from the very beginning to the very end. PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) was the television network that broadcasted the hearings.
