Why do hoaxes work? (apex)

A. They look and sound like the truth.

B. They make people laugh and feel happy.

C. They are factual and historically accurate.

D. They cause people to lose money.

I think the correct answer would be A. Hoaxes work because they look and sound like the truth. Hoaxes are reports that are very false but was made to mask what really is the truth. These are different from rumors since these are well fabricated and are organized well so that it could sound like it is the very truth and nothing else.
