Option C: Providing free community access to computers at schools, libraries, and community centers.

Why: the digital divide stems from lack of affordable internet access, devices, and skills. Free public access directly provides hardware, connectivity, and a setting for training and support. The other options either benefit people who are already online (A and B) or could create barriers for those without digital access (requiring online-only job applications).
