Most television advertisements are
A
5-to-10 minute spots
B
1-or-2 second spots
C
30-to-60 minute spots
D
30-or-60 second spots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Television advertising works by interrupting the programming that viewers are trying to watch. Most commercials are between 15 to 60 seconds, which means they can be quite intrusive as multiple ads are typically aired during a single TV show.

Detailed explanation-2: -Studies completed by the World Advertising Research Center have shown that 30-second spots are ideal in order to effectively tap into all three components of a good brand-building television commercial.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the average length of TV commercials? While the most common TV commercial length currently stands at 30 seconds, finding longer or shorter ads is not a problem as well. It seems to be the optimal duration to present interesting content and keep the viewer’s attention.

Detailed explanation-4: -A TV spot is like an advert you see on television for services or products. It has a story, actors and a message and it aims to convince the viewer of the benefits of the product or service the advertiser is promoting.

Detailed explanation-5: -The standard length of a TV ad is 30 seconds long. However, ads can also be 10, 20, 40, 50, 60 seconds or longer. As most ad breaks are either 2½, 3 or 3½ minutes long, your ad must be a multiple of 10 to fit the break. It is possible to run a 5 second ad but you would need to have two in each break.
