Explanation:
"The War of the Worlds" is a science-fiction novel that was written by H.G. Wells and which was first published in 1898. Narrating the events during an invasion by Martians, this novel was pretty well received both in England and in other parts of the world by both readers and critics. However, it did not have the same impact in England as it did in America when the novel was adapted in a broadcast in 1938, and presented to the public by the Columbia Broadcasting System, on a Halloween night. In America, it was reported that there was a supposed panic that was generated by the radio program, something that did not happen in England. This is why the answer is B.
