Which distribution right allows the consumer to screen the film for a distinct fee at a time and place determined by the consumer (including EST)?

• A. EST
• B. Free Television
• C. Transactional-Video-On-Demand
• D. Theatrical Distribution Rights

Answer: (C)

The concept tested is on-demand, pay-per-view licensing. Transactional-Video-On-Demand (TVOD) is the rights model that lets a consumer pay a distinct fee to view a title at a time and on a device of their choosing, i.e., on-demand and not part of a subscription. TVOD covers both renting (temporary access for a fee) and electronic sell-through (EST), where the purchaser gets permanent digital access. That inclusion of EST means EST is a form of TVOD, but the broader description—pay-per-view access on the consumer’s schedule—fits TVOD best.

The other options don’t match the scenario. Free Television involves broadcasting without a fee. Theatrical Distribution Rights cover releases in movie theaters, not consumer on-demand viewing. While EST describes paying for permanent access, it doesn’t by itself capture the on-demand, per-view/per-transaction model you’re being asked about; that broader pay-per-view on-demand framework is TVOD.
