Answer

Brief Explanations:

In Animal Farm, the pigs use propaganda. Here, exaggerating Frederick's violence (like flogging a horse to death, starving cows etc.) is a propaganda tactic. This makes the animals distrust humans (Frederick is a human) and have more faith in their leader (the pigs, who are presenting these stories). It ties in with the theme of how those in power (the pigs) manipulate information (propaganda) to maintain control. The other options are incorrect. There's no indication the rumors are to stop animals leaving (no mention of animals considering joining Frederick), no lies about his farm to enrage for harder work (the enragement is to foster distrust of humans), and it's not about making animals appreciate their life (it's about creating an enemy - human - image).

Answer:

Frederick's violence is exaggerated to promote distrust of humans and faith in their leader.
