Explanation

The characteristics of postmodern mass media here are mobility, globalization and simulation.

Statement 2 mobility reflects the portable, on-the-move access typical of postmodern media.

Statement 3 globalization captures the worldwide, border-crossing reach of these media.

Statement 4 simulation names the postmodern blurring of image and reality, following Baudrillard.

Immobility contradicts the mobile character of postmodern media and is excluded.

Linearity belongs to older, sequential media forms and is not a postmodern trait.

These features mark the shift from fixed, linear media to fluid, simulated global media.
