Tyler saw a Banner ad. Option C.

Explanation: A banner ad, also known a web banner, refers to an advertisement that is displayed into a web page. The advertisement consists of an image which invites the web user to click on it.

This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page. The purpose of the banner ad is to attract traffic to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser.

There are two types of banner ads:

- The horizontal banner

- The vertical banner

The horizontal type of banner ad is called a leaderboard, while the vertical banner ad is called a skyscraper. The vertical banner is positioned on a web page's sidebars. Banner ads are only image-based rather than text-based, and they are a very common form of online advertising.
