Final Answer :

Explanation :
The digital divide refers specifically to the inequality based on access to electronic information, such as internet access and technological devices. Choice B refers to differences in technology in general, which is not specific enough to capture the concept of digital divide. Choice C refers to differences in perception of media, which is not related to access to electronic information at all. Choice D states that none of the answer choices are correct, which is incorrect since A is the correct answer.
