Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In the 2025 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), India was ranked 151th out of 180 countries. While this marks a slight improvement from the 159th position in 2024 and 161st in 2023. The report cited physical violence against journalists and the rise of social media trolling as key factors for the decline.
