    Correct Answer
    C. Video streaming
    Explanation
    Periscope is a platform that allows users to broadcast live videos to their followers. It enables users to share real-time experiences, events, and moments through video streaming. Unlike audio streaming, video streaming includes both visual and audio components, making it a more immersive and engaging way to share content. Video call and audio call options are not the primary functions of Periscope, as it focuses on one-to-many broadcasting rather than individual communication. Therefore, the correct answer is video streaming.
