Solution

The correct option is D Both the statements are correct.
The Swedish Parliament passed the Freedom of Press Act in 1776. It was a landmark legislation that granted public access to government documents. It also abolished the censorship of all printed publications. Since then, many countries have freedom of information legislations that grant public access to government documents. The efficacy of such laws depends on the strength of the country's legal institutions.
