4. the mass media

Answer 1

Option A

Option A is the correct one.

The family.

Explanation:-

Because family is an important agent of socialization but it has declined in importance since 19th century the women used to go out for work as in 19th century people stop working on farm and go put to do jobs and father doesn't make more communication with childrens and cannot earn much so women started going outside and disputes in family starts increasing and socialization starts declining.
