Answer:

The answer is C They have used influencers and bloggers to create endorsements for their products that do not clearly appear to be ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and got this correct. I knew it was the right answer because it says that its not appearing to be an ad which means it is deceiving and manipulating the people to be like that blogger.
