The best choice for rewriting the paragraph to show a hopeful mood is **b**.

**Reasoning:**
Option **b** focuses on the opportunities available to women in broadcast newsrooms, highlighting that they make up a more significant percentage of leadership positions there (31 percent of news directors and 20 percent of general managers) compared to radio. This positive framing suggests that broadcast newsrooms are providing a platform for women to rise to leadership roles, which is an encouraging perspective. Options **a**, **c**, and **d** emphasize the low percentages of women in leadership positions without framing it in a more hopeful or positive light.
