Why telecommunications?? Is it not redundant?
Telecommunication is a Fax or email, both written; and telecommunication is Oral over the phone or fax, written
So, in my view, Oral and written covers it.
Got the question right, but it is a BULL**** question!
What is distinction?

I think you're overanalyzing the question. I'm pretty sure by "written material" they are implying documents written by pen and paper.

understood, however the question states" The prohibition against plagiarism applies to written materials:"

email and fax are written. so the completed statement would read " The prohibition against plagiarism applies to written materials and oral communications only.

email and fax are a method of delivery of a written material. telecommunication would also be a method of delivery of an oral communication.

The form of plagiarism is in the content, not the delivery. That is my argument!

Telecommunications includes e-mail and fax, which B does not include nor C.
