Answer:
<em>The correct option is A) It was used to influence public opinion</em>
Explanation:
In 1898, a conflict arose between Spain and the United States which was termed as Spanish- American war.
In the late 1890's journalists, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst used yellow journalism to influence and agitate the public of United States against Spain. Yellow journalism provided no legitimate well- searched news. It just made agitating headlines so that the news could be eye-catching and spread among people of the United States.
<span>The current thinking is around 200,000 years ago, but I would argue against this by saying that humans had not yet developed the same mental capacity that we have today, as some cognitive ability would have been needed in making art, which of course seems to have appeared around 70,000 years ago in its geometric form, where as the figurative animal paintings and carvings came to be around 40-35 thousand years ago. So, humans were physically definitely modern around 200ka, but mentally, this is unlikely. It is of course possible to argue that behavioural changes need not to be dictated by physiological or cognitive changes. Art could just be an invention</span>
