A1, 2 & 3 only ✓ Correct

B2, 3 & 4 only

C3, 4 & 5 only

D1, 4 & 5 only

Correct answer: (A) 1, 2 & 3 only

Explanation

The major characteristics of digital media are interactivity, automation and cheaper cost.

Statement 1 fits because digital media let users respond, contribute and shape the exchange rather than only receive.

Statement 2 fits because digital processes automate the capture, storage and delivery of content.

Statement 3 fits because digital production and distribution cut costs sharply compared with older forms.

The claim of higher cost runs against this very cheapness that digital tools bring.

The claim that digital is no different from analog technology ignores the fundamental shift to coded, numerical data.
