pollsters

pundits

commentators

journalists

Explanation:

• Pollsters: They are involved in conducting polls (surveys to gather public opinion data), not giving expert opinions on topics.
• Pundits: These are experts (often in political or social - related fields) who give their opinions, analysis, and commentary on various topics, which matches the description of the people joining the show.
• Commentators: While they do comment, the term "pundit" is more specific for an expert giving opinions in a more in - depth, often specialized way. Commentators can be more general (e.g., sports commentators).
• Journalists: Their main role is to report news (gather, write, and present facts), not primarily to give expert opinions.

Answer:

B. pundits
