In the questions given below, a sentence is given,

Solution

Part C is the odd part. A opens the sentence by establishing the subject — the monopoly on information that.  B continues directly by identifying who held that monopoly — print journalism once held, and that this monopoly has been.  D follows B naturally by completing the verb phrase — fundamentally dismantled by the rise of.  E concludes by telling us what has risen to dismantle that monopoly — digital platforms that distribute content instantaneously across borders. So the logical chain is: A → B → D → E, forming — "The monopoly on information that print journalism once held has been fundamentally dismantled by the rise of digital platforms that distribute content instantaneously across borders." C is the odd part because it introduces an entirely separate idea — that social media algorithms are designed to maximise engagement — which is a standalone claim about algorithmic design and behavioural engineering. No other part discusses algorithms, engagement metrics, or platform design philosophy. C does not connect to, develop, or logically follow from any other part, making it a clearly isolated fragment that belongs to a different sentence altogether.
