Explanation:

Yellow journalism is known for using exaggeration and false claims (or sensationalized, untrue stories) to attract readers. Option A is incorrect as yellow journalism aimed at being more sensational and not necessarily expensive. Option C is the opposite of what yellow journalism is (it lacks balanced reporting). Option D is irrelevant as it's about the audience's wealth, not the journalism's methods.
