The correct answer should be d.Since its introduction to the masses, television has always been viewed positively

Many people believed that TV sets were dragging the youth away from things like reading or studying and that it is corrupting the masses. They also believed that watching TV too much can lead to brain deformations and crooked back and similar. It was also believed that the TV could be used for conspiracy to brainwash people through subliminal messaging.
