B. A commercial making false statements about a political candidate's opponent is the best example of propaganda. Propaganda is a type of communication aimed at influencing or manipulating people's opinions or behaviors. In this case, the commercial is intentionally spreading false information about a political candidate's opponent to sway voters to their side. The other options, A, C, and D, do not involve the deliberate spreading of false information for political gain.
