Explanation:

The media in the US has increased public - awareness and scrutiny of government processes, leading to more openness and transparency over the long - term. It has not made Americans know less about their government, has no direct relation to the decrease in government service costs, and elected officials have not reduced contact with the public due to media but rather may have increased it in some cases to manage their public image.

Answer:

D. Government processes have become more open and transparent
