Which types of communication modes are used for the propagation of radio waves from one place to another?

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: Sky wave signals are used for long-distance radio communication. These signals are,in general,less stable than ground wave signals.
Statement-$2$: The state of the ionosphere varies from hour to hour,day to day,and season to season.

To double the covering range of a $TV$ transmission tower,its height should be multiplied by

$A$ bandwidth of $6 \, \text{MHz}$ is available for $A.M.$ transmission. If the maximum audio signal frequency used for modulating the carrier wave is not to exceed $6 \, \text{kHz}$,the number of stations that can be broadcasted within this band simultaneously without interfering with each other will be ..... .

For an amplitude modulated wave,the modulation index is found to be $0.5$. If the maximum amplitude is found to be $10.0 \ V$,then the minimum amplitude is: (in $V$)

The process of retrieval of information from the carrier wave is known as:
