Solution

The correct option is A News of the World (NoW)
The News of the World was a national red top newspaper published in the United Kingdom from 1843 to 2011. From 2006, allegations of phone hacking began to engulf the newspaper. These culminated in the revelation on 4 July 2011 that, nearly a decade earlier private investigator hired by the newspaper had intercepted the voicemail of missing British teenager Milly Dowler who was later found murdered.
