a. corporations based entirely through the internet grew and spread.

b. more people began accessing the internet by using smartphones.

c. more people were able to share information on a global scale.

d. buying and selling was no longer limited to a country’s borders.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Growth of internet - based corporations is more related to e - commerce/tech business evolution, not directly social media's main impact on information sharing.
• Option B: Smartphone internet access is a factor enabling social media use, not a result of social media usage increase.
• Option C: Social media's core function is to enable people to share information (like posts, videos, etc.) across the globe. As social media usage increased, more people could share info globally.
• Option D: Cross - border buying/selling is e - commerce, not the primary result of social media (which is about info sharing, networking).

Answer:

C. more people were able to share information on a global scale.
