Statements B, C, and D are correct statements, which makes the first statement a false one. It is simply not true - when technology brings advancements in new media, the old media forms do not necessarily disappear completely from society. They still exist, and some people still hold these old forms of media high in regard, but they are not annihilated by the appearance of new media forms.
