• B. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock, as most of the show's fans know, grew out of Tina Fey's experiences at Saturday Night Live.
• C. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock, as most of the Show's fans know, grew out of Tina Fey's experiences at Saturday Night Live.
• D. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock, as most of the show's fans know, grew out of Tina Fey's experiences at Saturday Night Live.

Answer: (B)

Capitalization of proper nouns and titles is what this question tests. The official title of the show is 30 Rock, so it must appear with digits and a capitalized Rock. The possessive referring to the show uses a common noun, so it stays lowercase: the show’s fans know. Saturday Night Live is a proper noun, so each word is capitalized. Tina Fey’s name is also a proper noun and is correctly capitalized.

The best version keeps 30 Rock properly capitalized, uses a lowercase show’s for the possessive, and fully capitalizes Saturday Night Live, matching the official spellings. The other options mis-capitalize the show’s title or treat Show as a proper noun, which isn’t correct.
