The correct answer is A) Yellow journalism.

The name that was given to journalism that focused on eye-catching stories and not necessarily the truth was Yellow journalism.

This kind of journalism was developed by Pulitzer to attract many readers, using sensationalistic news or yellow news that generated drama and emotions in the readers. Pulitzer realized that this kind of journalism sold many newspapers and kept on publishing eye-catching stories that generated people's reaction and became frequent readers of the news.
