Answer:C. Children's reasoning ability is undeveloped so they are more likely to misunderstand information from media.

Explanation:Children being exposed to television, smart phones and all other media sources is a real cause for concern because they are mostly less likely to distinguish what is wrong and what is right when they read or watch anything from the media.

For example young boy who may be exposed to online nudity may be prone to explore that in real life with girls at their age or even girls older than they are, which may put them at a risk of being sexual active at a young age.

It is very rare that children can distinguish what is that they can take from media and what is that they should not take.
