B Correct answer
Explanation

The use of motion capture technology has facilitated greater accuracy and realism in character movements in films. Motion capture involves recording the movements of actors or performers using sensors, which are then translated into digital animations. This technology allows filmmakers to create realistic and expressive character animations that closely match the performances of the actors, enhancing the overall visual experience of the film.
