some words have the same past tense as their present tense.
so broadcast is same in past tense as well as present tense
eg
this news was broadcast 3 years ago.
this news is being broadcast right now
this news will never be broadcast

Both are acceptable, according to "word web 3.01".
Hence , the option "c" is correct.

Dani, in your first example, you are using broadcat as a noun.
