What was noteworthy about the Watergate hearings?

A. The US Senate did not take part in the hearings.

B. President Nixon admitted his role in the scandal.

C. The hearings were televised for Americans to watch.

D. President Nixon refused to testify before the committee.

Answer: C. The hearings were televised for Americans to watch.

Explanation: Indeed, before these hearings no American network had broadcasted the entirety of senate hearings form gavel-to-gavel; a gavel is the wooden hammer used to signal the beginning or the end of a judicial or political proceeding. This means that the hearings were broadcasted from the very beginning to the very end. PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) was the television network that broadcasted the hearings.
