> would guess B is the correct answer


You would guess wrong :-) I have to assume you have never heard the original 
Radio Series, read the book or seen the TV Series ? The correct answer is :

What is a Babel Fish?

c) A fictional creature used for language translation

one of the best pieces from the original broadcast was the description of the 
Babel Fish, how it worked and how it was used to prove the non-existence of God :-))

Cheers

Kevin

oops   sorry my guess was meant to say  C

i was thinking of B for Babel

saw the tv show many years ago, but never heard the radio version

good luck
