As the digital age continues to shape our lives, the way we consume and interact with information has undergone a profound transformation. Traditional forms of media, such as newspapers and television, are facing significant challenges as online platforms and social media gain dominance. The ease of access to a vast array of information has empowered individuals to become content creators and influencers. However, this democratisation of information comes with its own set of challenges, including the spread of misinformation and the erosion of privacy.

The paragraph discusses how the digital age has empowered individuals to become content creators and influencers. To complete the paragraph logically, we need a sentence that addresses the challenges or downsides of this empowerment. Option C is the most suitable choice as it highlights the concern about the quality and accuracy of information in the digital age, which is a common challenge associated with user-generated content and the spread of misinformation.
