Which device was used to print and distribute mass advertising in early times?

• A. New Printing Method
• B. Printing Press
• C. Printing Machine
• D. Stamping Press

Answer: (B)

This question tests how mass advertising became possible because of a device that could reproduce the same message many times. The printing press is the right answer because it introduced movable type and a press mechanism that transferred ink from type to paper. This combination let posters, handbills, and early newspapers be produced quickly, consistently, and at a lower cost per copy, enabling widespread distribution of advertising materials.

A vague “new printing method” lacks a specific device reference. A “printing machine” is not the conventional historical term for the invention that enabled mass production of printed items. A “stamping press” is typically used for metal or embossing, not for producing printed text on paper.
