Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Type of media	Definition and Example
Synchronous Media	A communications medium that requires that both parties are present at the same time in the same space (for example. face-to-face or telephone). Synchronous communication happens when messages can only be exchanged in real-time. It requires that the transmitter and receiver are present at the same time and/or space  Examples of synchronous communication are phone calls or video meetings.
Asynchronous Media	A communications medium that does not requires that both parties are present at the same time in the same space (for example, e-mail).  Asynchronous communication happens when information can be exchanged independently of time. It doesn't require the recipient's immediate attention, allowing them to respond to the message at their convenience.  Examples of asynchronous communication are emails, online forums, and collaborative documents.
Rich Media	Rich media is a digital advertising term for an ad that includes advanced features like video, audio, or other elements that encourage viewers to interact and engage with the content. Some popular formats commonly considered rich media include Macromedia Flash & Shockwave, along with various audio and video formats.
Hype media	Hypermedia, an extension of the term hypertext, is a nonlinear medium of information that includes graphics, audio, video, plain text, and hyperlinks. This designation contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may include non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia.  The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia.

Conclusion:

Synchronous media is face to face or real-time interaction while asynchronous does not require face to face or real-time interaction. Rich media is related to advertising where people can interact and engage with the content. Hype or hypermedia is a nonlinear medium of information that includes graphics, audio, video, etc. Hence, from the above discussion, we can conclude that option (2) is correct.
