The most commonly used topical guide in journalism is the "Five Ws and One H" - What, When, Where, Who, How, and Why. This guide helps journalists cover all the important details of a story and present it in a comprehensive and informative manner. Option A is similar but misses out on "what," while option C only focuses on the "what," "when," and "why," leaving out other important details such as "who" and "where." Option D is too limited, focusing only on the "when," "where," and "why."
