(C) The report was delivered on television and also appeared in newspapers.

Answer:

(A) In March, many grocers removed apples from their shelves in order to demonstrate concern about their customers' health.

Explanation:

Option A is the right answer, this is because, option A tells us the reason why the sales of apples fell in the following month.

In other words, since majority of the consumers are indifferent to the report, then, considering the listed options, it can only be the unavailability of the apples that caused the sharp reduction in sales.

Hence, the correct answer is "In March, many grocers removed apples from their shelves in order to demonstrate concern about their customers' health."

It is only possible to answer this question by reading the two texts. Also, this is a personal question so first of all, you should reflect on what you think about the dangers that social media can offer to users. Do you think social media can influence you incorrectly? do you think social media can impose negative standards on society? Do you think that social media can promote exaggerated exposure? These are some concepts that you can reflect on to create your opinion about the dangers that social media can cause.

Then, you should read both texts and pay attention to how the authors approach these dangers and which author managed to present an argument that most closely resembles the opinion you have on this subject.

Therefore, you must answer this question by showing how you and this author present similar arguments and opinions.
