Answer 1

B). Some critics considered his hip movements to be sexually suggestive.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, Elvis Presley had been filmed only above the waist in his appearance for the third time on Ed Sullivan show primarily due to the reason that 'his hip movements being quite sexually evocative'(according to the critics). These movements may mislead the audience or offend their sentiments that may end up in scandal or controversies. Thus, the cameras were shifted to close-ups and only the waist up portions of him was displayed in his third or final appearance at the show. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
