I had been asked this question in an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Character Generation topic in section Graphics Primitives of Computer Graphics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Hardware character generators

For explanation I would say: Generally, only Hardware character generators are used in television studios. They provide a key signal. While the compositing vision mixer can use an alpha channel to determine which areas of the CG video are translucent.
