The two correct answers the writer can safely make about the intended audience are:

  1. They have a basic knowledge of how social media works.
  2. They are different genders.

These assumptions are reasonable because users of an old social media platform likely possess some understanding of social media dynamics, and audiences typically encompass a range of genders. The other options make assumptions that are more specific and less universally applicable.
