Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Research suggests that individualistic cultures (which are prevalent in developed economies like the U.S.) are more likely to trust e-commerce because purchases are backed by mechanisms based on individualistic cultural norms: guarantees, laws and policies, and security measures.

Explanation: E) In business, social media content is most effective when it engages your audience, gives them something of value, makes them trust your company, persuades them to share information with others, and motivates them to return to your site.
