The correct answer is C. It had a strong impact because it brought tragic events into people's homes

Explanation:

President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22 of 1963 in Dallas, Texas; his death had a strong impact on Americans especially due to the role of media. Most citizens in the U.S. get to know about Kennedy assassination through television and the event was covered by television networks in the U.S. in a massive way, from the moment Kennedy's died to his funeral there were live transmissions that reached all states in the US and even commercial were suspended. This brought the tragedy in all or almost all homes of Americans who watched in television the parade that took Kennedy's casket through Washing street and even those who had no access to television at home gathered around TV shops, which make all the nation mourn of President Kennedy's death. This implies, media (television mainly) brought the tragic events into people's home as people in all states could live the events related to Kennedy's death, which means media had a great impact in this.
