oryzae · Answer

Which one do you think it is?

I'll give you a hint: III is in the answer, because as more and more people are exposed to pop culture, the more likely folk culture is to be abandoned due to this new, foreign influence which the population knows is radically different and extremely influential.

oryzae · Answer

Yup! We know that folk culture still has an abundant amount of influence in our popular culture (songs, novels, education, etc), so that automatically rules out any answer outside of C.
