The correct option is A [A] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct justification for [A]

The Nazi Minister, Joseph Goebbels, once said, "any lie frequently repeated will ultimately gain belief". This was reflected in his work as the head of the German propaganda machinery. He controlled freedom of expression by exerting total state control over the Press, the theatre, the cinema, radio, and even education. Through these tactics, he managed to manipulate public opinion in favour of Nazism.
