Civics please help

The statement below was made by Thomas Jefferson in a 1786 letter to John Jay "our liberty, which cannot be guarded by the freedom of the press" How does freedom of the press guard liberty? A. By allowing the news media to work freely in foreign countries...

Can you explain to me how?

I know that the congress makes the law and the president signs it or passes it. I also think it is A because it is true what they say.

No, that is how the question is. I am pretty sure though that it is C what do you think?

I guess that you are correct. Thank you for helping!

Hi Mrs. Sue I just submitted it thank you so much it was correct! You are the best!
