Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advertisers are important in media because they provide the revenue needed for media outlets to make a profit. However, advertisers can also pressure media outlets to change their content or reporting in order to protect their own interests. This can sometimes limit the freedom and flexibility of the media. So, both A and B are correct. However, option C is not entirely true, as advertisers do not necessarily allow media outlets more freedom to report as they choose, rather they may influence or pressure them to report in a certain way. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
