Explanation

Adding subtitles or closed captions (B) is the established standard for making video content accessible, primarily benefiting users who are deaf or hard of hearing, but also helping non-native speakers, viewers in noisy environments, and those with cognitive processing differences. This aligns with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and legal accessibility requirements.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - "Quiz Preferences" is an administrative/settings feature unrelated to video accessibility; enabling a preference toggle doesn't add accessible content to a video.
• C - Creating a custom interaction adds engagement features, not accessibility; it doesn't address the needs of users who can't hear or process the audio.
• D - Synchronizing video with audio narration adds a layer of redundancy for sighted users but doesn't help deaf/hard-of-hearing users who can't access the audio in the first place.

Memory tip: Think "Captions = Access" - the word "accessible" shares its goal with captions: making content reachable to everyone, regardless of hearing ability. If you can read it, everyone can get it.
