Explanation

An information radiator is a highly visible physical display - like a task board, burndown chart, or big screen - placed where the entire team can see it at a glance, making project status transparent without anyone having to ask for it. Option B is wrong because information radiators are passive displays, not automated push tools, and they serve the whole team, not just the Product Owner. Option C is wrong because an information radiator is not a report "maintained" by any single role; it's a shared, self-updating artifact owned by the team collectively.

Memory tip: Think of a radiator in a room - it passively radiates heat to everyone nearby without targeting anyone. An information radiator similarly radiates project information outward to anyone who walks by, no requests required.
