  • A.Sound created through the use of an advanced digital system
  • B.Music and narrative that the audience hear and the characters do not
  • C.Sound that is heard by the characters in the fictional world of the film
  • D.Sound created during the post-production phase

Answer: C

Diegetic sound is sound that is heard by the characters in the fictional world of the film.

The diegesis is the story world. Diegetic sound has a source inside that world: dialogue, footsteps, a radio playing in the room or a song a character sings. The characters can hear it as well as the audience.

Music and narration that only the audience hears, such as a background score or a voice-over, is non-diegetic sound, the opposite. Whether a sound is diegetic does not depend on the technology used to create it or on whether it was added in post-production; much diegetic sound is recreated by Foley artists later.
