How to think about questions like this

Application questions test whether you can connect a real-world example to the right framework. The trick is to ignore the surface details (industry, company name) and focus on the underlying mechanic the example illustrates.

For Public Relations Tools specifically, look for the signal: Earned media is more credible than paid; PR delivers what advertising cannot. That signal is what distinguishes the right answer from plausible-sounding alternatives.
