Solution

The correct option is A There / is
The correct answer is Option B.
THERE means 'in, at or to that place or position'. It is used to refer to a place. In the given sentence the speaker wants to know whether there is a television at the place referred to. Thus THERE is the correct answer.
IS is used to refer to singular nouns - TELEVISION is a singular noun.
Hence THERE/IS is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: THIS is used to refer to an object. ARE is used to refer to more than objects.
Option C: THIS is used to refer to an object, not a place.
Option D: THAT is used to refer to an object.
