Respuesta :

The correct answer is: A survey conducted by a local news agency.

Asking a local news agency for information is the most suitable option since reporters are able to find reliable sources regarding the matter - for example, relatives of children who play videogames with mature content, such as parents or siblings.

The rest of the options may not be viable considering, as the individuals involved have reasons to lie:

  • Videogame retailers are not allowed to sell videogames with mature content to children.
  • Children might lie on surveys taken at school in order to protect their interests.
  • It is beneficial to a blogger to have a broad audience, regardless of their age; unmasking children followers might be counter-productive for them.
