In my opinion, the first alternative is correct (A).

The role of the media in an election is to convey information about the actual scenario and the measures promised by the candidates during the campaign. In this context, the media selects the themes that have the greatest popular appeal and that will affect the majority of the population, such as health and education.

In this way, media somehow directs the campaign by exploring the most controversial and people-sensitive issues.
