Answer 2

Answer: Propaganda is (C.) distributing information, ideas, or rumors in order to help or harm a person, institution, or nation.

Explanation: The word "propaganda" makes reference to the strategy of distributing certain ideas or images in order to influence people's opinions on a particular topic, group, institution, or nation. It has a negative connotation since propaganda only shows one side of things. In other words, propaganda avoids publishing or broadcasting all the events related to a specific situation in order to benefit a particular group. Therefore, option C. is the one that best defines "propaganda".
