(1 point)
○ featuring live performances by local musicians, a new radio program played.
○ the radio played a new program, and this new program featured live performances by local musicians.
○ the new program on the radio featured live performances by local musicians.
○ the new radio program, which featured live performances by local musicians, played.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

1. First option: Uses a participial phrase ("Featuring..."), not a prepositional phrase, and the meaning is altered (program "played" is incorrect contextually).
2. Second option: Uses a conjunction to combine, not a prepositional phrase replacement.
3. Third option: "on the radio" is a prepositional phrase replacing the first sentence's idea (the radio played a new program) to modify "the new program", and the sentence structure is correct.
4. Fourth option: Uses a relative clause ("which..."), not a prepositional phrase.

Answer:

C. The new program on the radio featured live performances by local musicians.
