D.

To send a voice 5 km you convert the acoustic signal to an electrical signal and radiate it as electromagnetic waves (radio) for wireless transmission and reception. The other choices (strong magnetic field, heating an electric current, or merely increasing amplitude) do not address long-distance wireless signal transmission.
