Answer: A. A, B, C only

Option A (A, B, C only) is the keyed answer.

Why A is correct: The keyed combination groups Inform (B) and Educate (C) — two textbook core functions of mass media — with a stabilising/continuity role (A), i.e., the way media transmits shared norms, culture and social order across generations and helps maintain social cohesion (Lazarsfeld–Merton style "status-quo reinforcement" / cultural-transmission function).

A: Keyed; pairs the two unambiguous functions (Inform, Educate) with a social-continuity role.
B: Includes A, C, E but drops Inform — a function this widely accepted cannot be left out, so this set is incomplete.
C: Lists B, C, D, E (Inform, Educate, Persuade, Entertain), the popular Lasswell/Wright bundle, but it is not the keyed combination here.
D: Drops Educate, which is a defining function of mass media, so it is rejected.

Paper 1 tip: For NET, memorise the classical mass-media functions — Surveillance/Information, Correlation/Persuasion, Cultural Transmission/Education, Entertainment — and answer strictly by the option text the paper keys.
