Solution

The correct option is B Modulator

Any device that performs signal conversion is Modulator.

A modulator is a device that performs modulation. A demodulator (sometimes detector or demod) is a device that performs demodulation, the inverse of modulation. A modem (from modulator–demodulator) can perform both operations.

A demodulator is a circuit that is used in amplitude modulation and frequency modulation receivers in order to separate the information that was modulated onto the carrier from the carrier itself. A demodulator is the analog part of the modulator.

Modulation allows us to send a signal over a bandpass frequency range. If every signal gets its own frequency range, then we can transmit multiple signals simultaneously over a single channel, all using different frequency ranges. Another reason to modulate a signal is to allow the use of a smaller antenna.
