Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the question, the percentage of American media controlled by 50 companies was 90% in 1983. Therefore, the other 10% was controlled by other companies. In 2012, it can be assumed that there was consolidation in the media industry and a smaller number of companies would control a larger percentage of the media. The most drastic reduction would be if the 90% was controlled by only six companies instead of the original fifty, making option A the best choice.
