Question

Which method would be most suitable for reaching a large population in a relatively short period?

• A. Individual Method
• B. Group Method
• C. Mass Method
• D. Hybrid Method

Hint:

Mass methods (TV, radio, social media) are best for quick, widespread communication.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Mass Method (option 3) is the most suitable for reaching a large population quickly. Mass methods, such as television, radio, newspapers, social media, or digital campaigns, are designed to disseminate information to a broad audience efficiently and rapidly due to their wide reach and scalability. In contrast:
- Individual Method (option 1) involves one-on-one communication (e.g., farm visits), which is time-intensive and limited in scope.
- Group Method (option 2) targets smaller groups (e.g., workshops or community meetings), reaching fewer people than mass methods.
- Hybrid Method (option 4) combines individual and group methods, which is effective but still slower and less scalable than mass methods.
Thus, option (3) is correct for its ability to reach large populations in a short time.
