The correct answer is A. Showing the results of a car accident involving drinkers

Step-by-step explanation:

In media, products such as cigarettes or alcohol that have been shown to have negative consequences are advertised by including them in positive situations or by showing they have positive qualities. In the case of alcohol includes showing famous people or models drinking; showing people drinking at parties, sports events or family gatherings; and showing drinkers in beautiful or ideal settings.

Additionally, media avoids showing negative consequences of alcohol such as showing the consequences of alcohol addiction or "showing the results of a car accident involving drinkers" because this might prevent possible buyers from drinking alcohol as negative aspects about alcohol are shown rather than only ideal situations.
