Option C is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

Option C is the correct answer.
The passage highlights that the practice of streaming services, like Netflix, editing old episodes of Stranger
Things retroactively raised concerns. Altering a popular show’s content without consent or transparency
supports the concern that such platforms can tamper with or erase parts of culture at their discretion rather
than preserve them as they were originally created.
Option A: This option doesn't fully address the specific concern raised by the Stranger Things editing example.
The example focuses on altering the content, not controlling access.
Option B: The example concerns the possibility and practice of editing content on streaming platforms, not
whether unsubstantiated reports cause distrust.
Option D: The example of Stranger Things is not necessarily about changing films to suit new tastes or
technology. Rather, it’s about the platform’s ability to alter existing content without transparency or input from
the original creators.
