Answer:

D. People can access other sources of information to check the truth of a hoax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nowadays it can be argued that it is more difficult to trick people into falling for all kinds of frauds or hoaxes given the fact that there are greater amounts of information available, and channels through which to access it, most notably the internet, which, for a critical person, is a great resource to corroborate information and to fact-check any claim which make it considerably more complicated to defraud people through false information. .
