What is the status of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence?
A) The search must rely upon only small, inexpensive TV satellite antennas, and thus most astronomers believe it cannot succeed.
B) Astronomers have received on several occasions repeated signals that appear to be from some intelligent source, but they are waiting to receive one from the vicinity of an Earthlike planet before declaring that SETI has made contact with an extraterrestrial race.
C) Because of funding limitations the entire program has been terminated and is no longer active.
D) Astronomers have occasionally detected particularly strong or unusual signals from space, but they have not been repeated so astronomers do not believe they are from an intelligent source.
