Explanation:

The first theory, multi step flow is described in option F above where leaders or opinion leaders or stakeholders receive information before it is shared with the general audience. The second theory depicts the inhibition theory showing reduced power as associated with increased threat, punishment,and therefore inhibition tendencies. The third explains social construction reality where individuals react to circumstances according what experiences they have had. The fourth theory is exemplified in option E whereby individuals take information in their passive state and respond exactly the same way. The fifth theory is exemplified in option B where individuals choose to interpret messages based on how they wish to. The last theory shows the media's power to make a particular media or media messages as important as they deem fit.
