A Many people still prefer reading physical books over digital ones.
B Libraries offer free internet access and digital literacy programs, bridging the digital divide for many.
C The cost of maintaining library buildings is substantial.
D Online information can sometimes be unreliable or difficult to verify.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B
