The correct answer is: 4) Two-way mobile radio communication

Explanation:
Narrowband FM (NBFM) is characterized by:

Small frequency deviation (typically ±5 kHz or less).

Limited bandwidth (just wide enough for voice communication).

Primary Applications:

  • Two-way mobile radios (e.g., police, ambulance, taxi communications).
  • Aviation and marine VHF radios.
  • Amateur radio (ham) transmissions.
     

Why Not the Other Options?

  • Television transmission → Uses wideband FM for audio (higher fidelity) or AM for video.
  • High-fidelity audio systems → Requires wideband FM (e.g., ±75 kHz deviation for FM radio).
  • FM radio broadcasting → Uses wideband FM (88–108 MHz band with large deviation).
