Answer:

C. Because TV is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible

Explanation:

Postman refers to French literary theorist Roland Barthes. He argues that “TV has accomplished the status of 'myth'". The point here is to understand what does “myth” mean to Barthes. Postman himself later on explains:  “a myth is a way of thinking so deeply embedded in our consciousness that it is invisible”.
