Answer 2

What we can infer about some listeners based on their panicked reactions to the radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" is C. They were ready to believe anything they heard on the radio. The radio broadcast was adapted from the novel by H.G. Wells. The Mercury Theater on the Air was the radio program directed and narrated by Orson Welles. It was broadcasted on October 30, 1938. It caused panic among the people. Welles introduces the broadcast by mentioning that it is an adaptation of the novel, but most people did not hear this, because they tuned later.
