1.Mass media

2.Opinion leaders

3.Bureaucracy

4.Spiritual leaders

A1 & 2 ✓ Correct

B2 & 3

C3 & 4

D1 & 4

Correct answer: (A) 1 & 2

Explanation

In the two-step flow, messages move through the mass media and then through opinion leaders.

Statement 1 holds because information first reaches the mass media.

Statement 2 holds because opinion leaders pick it up and pass it on to their circles.

Statement 3 fails since bureaucracy is an administrative structure, not a relay in this flow.

Statement 4 fails because spiritual leaders are not the defined intermediaries of this model.

The model's core is that active opinion leaders mediate media messages to the wider public.
