Answer 1

The most likely outcome when the media got a powerful response from the issue that it covered is: B.Changes to public policy on the issue

When the media obtained public support on a specific issue, the government representatives that are responsible in the creation of the law would feel pressured to conform to the will of the people. This would increase the chance that the public policy would be adjusted or replaced to address the issue.
