Piyush Wankhede · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Most organizations of health professionals, including the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization, agree that media violence contributes to aggression among people, particularly children and adolescents. However, they do not necessarily argue that it directly causes aggression, as individuals' responses to media violence can vary based on factors such as personality and environment. Additionally, children are not necessarily more likely to heed what people say than to imitate what they do, as modeling behavior is a powerful influence on socialization. There is also no evidence to support the claim that people are less likely to be aggressive when they are highly aroused.
