Explanation:

The radio version of The War of the Worlds used immersive sound effects (like screams and crashes) to enhance excitement and realism, mimicking live news broadcasts. Option A is incorrect because calming music would not increase excitement; B is a basic narrative element not unique to making it realistic; C is part of the original story, not an addition for the radio broadcast. Sound effects were key to its realistic, thrilling presentation.
